The dB10 Passive Direct Box includes all the basic features you would expect from a work horse direct box, but provides additional value not found in budget direct boxes, says the company. Its three-position pad switch easily accommodates instrument, line level and speaker level signals, while further versatility is added with its selectable polarity invert and high-cut filtering functions.
The dB12 Active Direct Box includes all the features of the dB10, but in an active version. Driven by phantom power supplied by a mixing console's mic input, the dB12's active circuitry operates from 20V to 48V. A green power LED is included to show status of the phantom power source.
