Description
The Warm Audio Direct Box Passive is designed for use with electric instruments with active pickups such as basses and guitars as well as line-level instruments. The design is based around renowned electrical components such as the custom-wound CineMag transformer at its core. With its rugged extruded aluminum enclosure, its rugged metal switches, and Pad knob it will provide a warm tone over long cable runs as well as durability on the road.
Preserve Your Tone
Warm Audio’s passive DI boxes are designed and built to deliver premium performance, from the inside-out. On the inside, you’ll find 100% Class-A circuitry using premium components, but the star of the show is a custom USA-made CineMag transformer, included in both passive and active models. The transformer ensures that any analog color and character from your instrument or signal chain is preserved before hitting any mixers or audio interfaces. On the outside, a selectable -3 - -30dB pad helps dial-in your ideal signal volume and ground/lift switch helps eliminate ground-loop noise. The active DI can also be switched to passive mode for added versatility.
Pro Direct Sound: Studio & Stage
Warm Audio DI Boxes allow you to run the high-impedance signals from guitar, bass, and keyboards directly into low impedance mic preamps, mixers, interfaces or to send signal over extended cable runs without losing volume, tone, and significant high-frequency information. Warm Audio's road-worthy DI Boxes are the professional solution for this common mismatch, ensuring you won't diminish the tone of your instrument or performance.
Variable Pad
Attenuate your signal between -3 and -30 dB
Passive Circuitry
Direct Box Passive is best for instruments with passive pickups, especially acoustic instruments
Convenience Jack
The Direct Box Passive offers a thru-put jack jumpered to the input jack; this lets you send your instrument's signal to a second place, in addition to the live mixer or recording device.
Wired for Integrity and Durability
Every aspect of the Warm Direct Box Passive is designed for sonic integrity, from custom-wound CineMag USA transformers, to metal switches and connectors, to gold-plated circuit traces.
