DBX DB12V Active Direct Box
The dB12 Active Direct Box is a testament to dbx's unwavering commitment to delivering top-notch audio equipment. Its robust construction and superior audio performance set it apart from the competition.
To achieve the highest levels of sonic fidelity, dbx employed custom mu-metal-shielded audio transformers, Neutrik connectors, and low-noise circuitry. Additionally, the dB12 Active Direct Box features a pad switch capable of accommodating instrument, line, and speaker level signals. Users can further fine-tune their sound by utilizing the polarity invert switch to adjust the phase relationship between the direct and mic'd signals.
Interference can be a significant issue for professionals, so dbx has included a ground lift switch to address hum and buzz problems caused by ground loops. The cast metal chassis and custom-wound transformer offer double protection against interference, ensuring a clean signal every time. The dB12 Active Direct Box is also designed for stability, with a secure, non-slip footprint that prevents it from moving around on stage. The contoured underside allows for easy and secure stacking of multiple units.
For those who demand the very best from their direct box, the dB12 Active Direct Box is the ideal choice. It offers unparalleled performance, durability, and flexibility that exemplifies the dbx name.
