DBX DBXDJDI

The dbx DJdi is a rugged and reliable 2-channel passive direct box, engineered to simplify the process of connecting unbalanced audio sources to professional audio systems. Ideal for DJs, musicians, and AV professionals, the DJdi converts high-impedance unbalanced signals into low-impedance balanced outputs, ensuring compatibility with mixers, PAs, and recording gear.

Its passive circuitry offers clean, transparent operation without the need for external power, while a continuously variable input attenuator accommodates a wide range of signal levels. Each channel includes a ground lift switch to eliminate hum and ground loop issues. With its transformer-isolated XLR outputs and durable build, the DJdi is a go-to tool for clean and reliable signal routing in a variety of live and studio environments.

• Dual Channel Design: Converts two unbalanced audio sources to balanced XLR outputs for clean connection to pro audio gear.

• Passive Operation: No power needed-ideal for simple, reliable, and noise-free signal conversion.

• Transformer-Isolated XLR Outputs: Ensures clear signal separation and reduces hum and interference.

• Continuously Adjustable Input Attenuators: Handles a wide range of input levels for flexible source matching.

• Ground Lift Switch: Eliminates unwanted hum caused by ground loops.

• Compact and Road-Ready: Built for durability in live sound, recording, or DJ environments.
