{"product_id":"art-dpdb","title":"ART dPDB","description":"\u003cp\u003eDual Passive Direct Box\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new dPDB Passive Direct Box features two high-quality direct boxes in one portable enclosure. It is a rock solid, roadworthy DI for connection of the outputs of electronic musical instruments (or other audio sources) to the balanced inputs of mixer consoles and other balanced inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also allows connection of a music source to an instrument amplifier while simultaneously patching it to a mixer. The dPDB features switchable Input Attenuation (0 dB, -20dB, -40dB), a 50k ohm Instrument Input, 50k ohm Parallel Link jack, a 600 ohm XLR Output Jack, and a switchable Ground Lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dPDB excels at impedance matching and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it. The ART dPDB is a must-have in any audio tool kit. Enclosed in a rugged steel chassis, it is designed and manufactured to the highest standards to provide years of quiet, reliable performance. dPDB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplications:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectric guitar and bass pick up output signals – The high impedance signal from a guitar or bass guitar pickup is translated by the dPDB™ into a low impedance balanced signal required by mixing consoles.\u003cbr\u003eKeyboards and line level signals – The dPDB™ automatically balances and matches the line level outputs of modern electronic keyboards. If you are using a multiple keyboard setup and your keyboards are all plugged into a single instrument amplifier, the dPDB™ can be used to replace individual direct boxes. Simply send the output of the instrument amplifier to the dPDB™ and then to the console (instead of a separate DI box for each keyboard).\u003cbr\u003eDJ console output signals – DJ mixers often supply only an unbalanced -10dB signal. The dPDB™ converts this signal to a balanced line level signal before it reaches the console, while providing a convenient method of connector transition with the capability to run long cables.\u003cbr\u003eSpeaker level signals – The dPDB’s ability to accept speaker level inputs from a power amplifier’s output allows post-amplifier, post eq and effects signals to be fed directly to the console. In this manner, a particular effect or amplifier sound can be sent directly to the mix\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response\t10 Hz – 50 kHz +\/- 0.5dB @ +4dBu\u003cbr\u003eOutput Connections\t600 Ω XLR Output Jack\u003cbr\u003eGround Lift\tSwitchable\u003cbr\u003eInput Attenuation\tSwitchable (0dB, -20dB, -40dB)\u003cbr\u003eInstrument Input\t50k Ω\u003cbr\u003eParallel Link Jack\t50k Ω\u003cbr\u003eDimensions\t5.75″ x 5″ x 2″\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ART Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46231814832172,"sku":"ARTP_DPDB","price":119.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2970\/9956\/files\/image-2c22ce70-bf3c-46f1-a567-d52ae2d6cb74.webp?v=1790148095","url":"https:\/\/roycemusic.com.au\/products\/art-dpdb","provider":"roycemusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
