DJdi DIRECT BOX Overview Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the dbx DJdi Direct Box. The 2-channel passive DJdi is designed to be used as a standard tool for many audio applications.

BALANCED OUTPUTS - Connect these balanced XLR connectors to an XLR input on your mixer 2.
DJdi DIRECT BOX Using a Direct Box First, a direct box converts the audio signal originating from an unbalanced device (like a guitar) to a balanced audio signal for transmission over a longer distance than is recommended for an unbalanced signal to travel. As audio industry people know, the advantage of a balanced signal is realized at the receiving end (audio input) of the balanced cable, typically in the form of a mic pre-amp input on a mixing console.
DJdi DIRECT BOX Converting the Output of Unbalanced Devices The DJdi can be quite useful on stage, or in a studio when connecting unbalanced devices, particularly keyboards. The low output signal levels of many keyboards can benefit greatly by connecting their unbalanced outputs to the DJdi. By doing so, the signal can then be sent cleanly for long distances and utilize the low noise common mode rejection provided by the DJdi’s balanced low-level output.
