About Whirlwind DIRECT2

The Whirlwind DIRECT2 Passive 2-Channel Direct Box stands as a professional-grade solution for audio engineers, musicians, and studio professionals seeking high-quality, reliable signal conversion. This durable direct box is expertly designed to seamlessly convert unbalanced signals from a wide array of sources, including stereo keyboards, acoustic guitar preamps, CD and tape players, as well as computer sound cards. It adeptly transforms these unbalanced line, instrument, or speaker level signals into low impedance balanced microphone levels, making them perfectly suited for input into mixing consoles or microphone preamps.

Crafted for performance, the DIRECT2 is a passive device, eliminating the need for an external power supply and ensuring a clean, uncolored signal path. Each of its two channels is equipped with a ground lift switch to combat hum and buzz by interrupting ground loops, and a 20dB pad to accommodate a range of signal levels, from line/instrument to speaker level. The innovative design ensures that the input and output grounds of each channel are isolated, allowing the DIRECT2 to function as if it were two completely independent direct boxes. This feature is particularly beneficial for eliminating ground loop interaction and maintaining the integrity of your audio.

The DIRECT2 boasts a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz, ensuring that the full spectrum of sound is accurately conveyed without any loss of fidelity. The unit includes two 1/4" TS phone input connectors and two XLR connectors, along with two 1/4" TS phone thru output connectors, providing versatile connectivity options for a variety of audio setups.

Whether on stage, in the studio, or in a live sound environment, the Whirlwind DIRECT2 Passive 2-Channel Direct Box is an indispensable tool for professionals who demand the utmost in audio quality, innovative features, and reliable performance.

Whirlwind DIRECT2 Features

  • 1/4" parallel wired in/out jacks
  • Ground Lift switch to help eliminate hum and buzz
  • -20dB pad switch for connection to "hot" input signals
  • Uses Whirlwind's TRHL-M transformer with metal shield
