ART Audio DualZDirect Dual Channel Passive Direct Box

Record High Signal Levels with the ART Audio DualZDirect Dual Channel Passive Direct Box

The DualZDirect provides two independent high quality totally passive interfaces that let you connect instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced inputs through high performance audio isolation transformers. Each of the high impedance single-ended 1/4-inch inputs is converted by a transformer into an isolated, balanced, low impedance signal output. The DualZDirect’s audio transformers have an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels. This gives the DUALZDirect a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments.
