ART dADB Active Two-Channel Direct Box
Bring out the purest sound from your instruments with the ART dADB. This active direct box offers two independent channels that convert your instrument, line, or speaker signals into balanced outputs with ultra-low noise, preserving the true tone every time.
Preserve Your Tone with Pristine Clarity
The dADB features high-impedance 1/4″ inputs buffered through low-noise electronics. This ensures an acoustically transparent audio path with a remarkably flat frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, your signal stays clear and natural, even at high input levels.
Versatile Controls for Every Situation
Each channel offers switchable attenuation (0, 20, 40 dB), phase invert, ground lift, and low-pass Bessel filters to optimize your sound and eliminate interference. The XLR outputs provide balanced signals, while the 1/4″ thru jacks let you send the input to an amplifier simultaneously — perfect for live setups.
Reliable Power and Rugged Build
Powered by phantom power or a 9-volt battery lasting over 100 hours, the dADB stays ready wherever you perform. Its robust steel enclosure withstands the rigors of the road, ensuring your audio connection remains solid and dependable.
