About Hosa Technology DIB-443

How does the DIB-443 Sidekick Passive Direct Box stand out in the world of audio equipment This innovative and user-friendly device, designed by Hosa, is a passive direct injection transformer that expertly converts guitar or bass signals into low-impedance signals. These signals are ideal for transmission through the snake to the XLR inputs of your house or studio mixing console.

The DIB-443 Sidekick is equipped with a unique "INST/SPKR" switch. When positioned in the SPKR mode, it allows an amplifier's extension speaker output to drive the line, effectively preserving the original amp sound. This high-quality feature ensures that the integrity of your sound is maintained, regardless of the distance it travels.

One of the standout features of this durable direct box is its Ground Lift switch. This switch is designed to break ground, assisting in troubleshooting and eliminating the frustrating 60Hz "ground-loop" hum. This reliable hum eliminator feature ensures a cleaner, more accurate sound, making the DIB-443 Sidekick an essential tool for any musician or audio professional seeking superior sound quality.

Whether you're using instruments or microphones with an unbalanced output, the DIB-443 Sidekick Passive Direct Box is your solution for converting unbalanced audio signals to balanced ones. Its 1/4" input and XLR output make it a versatile addition to your audio setup. Experience the difference in sound clarity and quality with the DIB-443 Sidekick Passive Direct Box.
