SE Electronics DM3 Dynamite Active Inline Ultra-HiZ Direct Box, Matte Black

The SE Electronics DM3 Dynamite Active Inline Ultra-HiZ Direct Box in Matte Black is a powerhouse DI solution designed for musicians and audio professionals seeking superior sound quality in a compact form. This active inline direct box features an Ultra-HiZ input, ensuring that the unique tonal characteristics of your instruments are preserved with a remarkable input impedance of 10 megaohms. This high impedance allows the DM3 to maintain the integrity of your instrument's sound, making it ideal for use with low-output pickups without any coloration, thanks to the renowned DYNAMITE technology also found in the DM1 and DM2 models.

The DM3 is equipped with a lockable 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) input jack, providing a secure and reliable connection in high-pressure live or recording environments. The locking mechanism can be disengaged if preferred, offering flexibility to suit your needs. This direct box also boasts a recessed three-stage ground lift switch with a unique "on+" setting, effectively minimizing unwanted buzz, hum, hiss, and radio frequency interference, ensuring a pristine signal whether you're in the studio, at home, on stage, or in a worship setting.

Designed to handle even the most powerful instruments, the DM3 offers massive headroom, capable of accommodating the high output levels of active pickups, keyboards, drum machines, synthesizers, and laptops. It can manage the intense output of a 10,000-watt solid-state power amplifier (285 Vrms or 805 Vp-p) with ease. If necessary, the integrated, recessed attenuation pad switch allows you to reduce the input signal by 15 or 30 dB to suit any input load.

The DM3 features a dedicated Class-A output buffer amplifier, delivering the lowest noise in its class and preventing zero-crossover distortion. This ensures a clean and consistent signal, regardless of load impedance or cable length. Its slim, all-metal discrete housing and gold-plated XLR connectors provide a robust and roadworthy design, ensuring reliable, loss-free signal transmission. The DM3 connects seamlessly to interfaces, mixers, stage boxes, or any standard XLR input without the need for additional cables.

With its sleek matte black finish and compact form factor, the DM3 is not only durable but also portable, fitting easily in a pocket or hanging from the included custom sE 1/4" plug keychain. This makes it an indispensable tool for musicians and audio engineers who demand great sound on the go.
