Pristine Signal for Stage and Studio: The Proel DIRECT100A
The Proel DIRECT100A is a professional active direct injection (DI) box designed to be an essential tool for any live sound engineer or studio producer. This rugged and reliable DI box allows you to connect high-impedance, unbalanced sources, such as electric guitars, basses, and keyboards, directly to the low-impedance, balanced microphone inputs of a mixing console.
The active electronics of the DIRECT100A ensure a clean, transparent, and powerful signal transfer over long cable runs, without any loss of signal quality or introduction of noise. It perfectly preserves the original tone of your instrument. With features like a switchable attenuator and a ground lift switch, the DIRECT100A is equipped to handle any signal source and eliminate common ground loop hum issues.
Housed in a robust, die-cast metal chassis, the DIRECT100A is built to withstand the rigors of the road. It can be powered by either a +48V phantom power from the mixer or a 9V battery, making it a flexible and indispensable part of any audio toolkit.
