This durable and versatile direct box is expertly designed to handle the outputs of electronic musical instruments and other audio sources, ensuring a seamless connection to the balanced inputs of mixer consoles and other balanced inputs.

For keyboard players utilizing multiple instruments, the PDB Passive Direct Box simplifies your rig by balancing and matching the line level outputs of modern electronic keyboards.

Moreover, the PDB Passive Direct Box is capable of accepting speaker level inputs from a power amplifier's output. This allows you to feed post-amplifier, post-EQ, and effects signals directly to the console, capturing the true essence of your amplifier's sound and effects in the mix.
