Active Di Box

And active dis can be designed to be extremely quiet hi fi and transparent tonally.

Active di box.

Di boxes which require a power source batteries or phantom power are called active di boxes. Active di boxes active direct boxes are in fact preamplifiers whose primary function is to provide higher input impedance than that of a transformer to drive instruments with low level signals. A di unit direct input is an electronic device typically used in recording studios and in sound reinforcement systems to connect a high output impedance line level unbalanced output signal to a low impedance microphone level balanced input usually via an xlr connector and xlr cable. An active di box includes a preamplifier to provide a stronger signal and higher input impedance.

Behringer s take on the all important active di box gives you functionality durability and incredible sound at a remarkable price. This means that it can handle lower level signals and still sound good. This type of di was originally designed to provide an extra gain to boost the weak output of some passive single coil pickups but the extra gain is great for driving long cable runs and many modern active dis include advanced signal routing capabilities and higher headroom than their passive counterparts making them an excellent choice for keyboards and instruments with active pickups.
