About Whirlwind pcDI

It is essential for audio professionals to have equipment that ensures the highest fidelity and clarity in their recordings and live sound setups. The Whirlwind pcDI Stereo Direct Box is a robust and high-quality solution designed to seamlessly interface unbalanced, stereo line sources with professional, balanced, low impedance equipment. This dual-channel direct box is equipped with durable RCA phono connectors, making it an ideal choice for those who require reliable and professional-grade audio conversion.

Crafted with versatility in mind, the pcDI allows for a variety of input options to accommodate different devices and applications. Users can connect their audio sources through a single 3.5mm (1/8") mini TRS stereo jack or through two sets of color-coded RCA phono type inputs. Each input channel also includes Thru RCA connectors, providing additional routing flexibility. The output is expertly handled via corresponding color-coded XLR connectors, ensuring a secure and interference-free signal path.

The pcDI is engineered with a hi-z to lo-z transformer and an integrated hum eliminator, which work together to improve the sound quality of the input signal by reducing noise and interference. This feature is particularly beneficial for environments where electrical noise can be an issue, such as in recording studios or during live performances.

Additionally, the pcDI includes a ground lift switch for each channel to further assist in eliminating hum and potential ground loop issues. The inclusion of a 20dB pad switch in each channel allows for the connection of "hot" signals without distortion, providing clean and clear audio even when dealing with high-output devices like CD players, computer sound cards, and tape decks.

The Whirlwind pcDI is not only a testament to professional audio engineering but also a testament to its adaptability. Its durable construction and comprehensive features make it a versatile tool for audio professionals looking to ensure the integrity of their sound in a variety of settings, from recording studios to live sound applications. With the pcDI, you can trust that your audio will be transmitted with the utmost clarity and quality.

Whirlwind pcDI Features

  • Color coded RCA phono in / through jacks

  • Color coded XLR output jacks
  • Uses Whirlwind's TRHL-M transformers with metal shield
  • Ground Lift switch to help eliminate hum and buzz
