Perfect for both home studio and stage, the CES02 is a two-channel DI that combines excellent build quality, high sound quality, and an exemplary value for money.
**Doubly essential.**
Very discreet and often forgotten, direct boxes are nonetheless critical elements in the studio and on stage, which should not be neglected. What are these little boxes for, you ask? Simply to balance a signal and adapt the impedance of a high-impedance source, such as a guitar microphone or synthesizer, to the mic or line input of a mixing console. This makes it possible to connect your instrument directly to a mixing desk, while greatly reducing the risk of signal interference.
**Cordial quality at a low price.**
With the CES02, Cordial has developed a simply designed but very effective direct box. It features two separate channels, each equipped with a jack and RCA input, and an XLR output allowing direct connection to a mixing console. The CES02 offers an interesting signal loop option via dedicated jack and RCA inputs, useful for working with certain semi-professional CD players. It also has a 3-level attenuator per channel (10/20/30 dB) very useful for connecting a powerful source without saturating the circuit, such as a digital piano, and a ground switch to eliminate any unwanted hum. Being 100% passive in design, it requires no additional power supply to operate!
**A real tank.**
Cordial designed this direct box for the stage, and it shows! Non-slip pads, a shielded metal casing designed to withstand strong twists, recessed controls protected by the metal casing's overhang... In short, everything has been thought out to ensure its survival on the battlefield that is the stage. With its Rean connectors manufactured under license by Neutrik, it is shock-resistant.
The Cordial CES 02 passive direct box offers an excellent compromise between high sound quality and acquisition cost. It allows you, for example, to connect a line-level or speaker-level output to a balanced mic-level input on a mixing console. A ground lift and a pad with 0, -10, -20, and -30 dB attenuation for each channel complete the features of this DI. Being passive in design, the CES 02 requires no external power supply to operate. Its very robust, well-isolated steel casing is equipped with a non-slip base to ensure safety in all circumstances. The transformers and connectors fitted to the DI are designed by REAN, a subsidiary of Neutrik, guaranteeing exceptional durability for this direct box.
