The Essentials to Know About the Jack to XLR Direct Box (DI)

  • Designed to connect a guitar or bass on stage or in the studio, providing a clean and usable signal.
  • 6.35mm Jack input with Thru output to keep your amp on the same signal.
  • Balanced XLR output with ground lift to reduce ground loop noise.
  • Built-in -15 dB pad to prevent clipping with high output level sources.

An Audio Standard for Going from Instrument to Mixer

The direct box is an essential tool for musicians and sound engineers: it converts an instrument signal into a balanced XLR output, better suited for long cable runs and mic/line inputs on a mixer or interface. With its Thru output and ground lift, this model aims for easy integration in live and studio setups.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This DI is intended for guitarists and bassists who want to send a reliable signal to the front of house, a recorder, or an audio interface, while retaining the ability to feed an amp via the Thru output. It is also useful whenever you need to secure the level and reduce unwanted noise in a stage setup.

Key Features for a Clean, Clipping-Free Signal

-15 dB Pad: More Headroom Before Clipping

The -15 dB pad lowers the input level to preserve headroom and avoid clipping when connecting to high output level sources.

Balanced XLR Output + Ground Lift: Noise Reduction

The balanced XLR output improves interference rejection, and the ground lift helps eliminate hum caused by ground loops. The result: an optimized signal-to-noise ratio for cleaner capture.
