ART Dual Z Direct Two Channel Passive DI box (NEW)
ART Dual Z Direct Two Channel Passive DI box Main Features
- Fully passive, high performance transformer design. No battery required
- Converts 50k Ohm inputs into 600 Ohm balanced outputs
- Switchable ground lift (fully isolates inputs from chassis and outputs)
- XLR connectors for balanced outputs
- Switchable input attenuation (0, -20, -40 dB)
- Switchable low pass filter
- Switchable phase invert
Each of the high impedance single-ended 1/4 inch inputs is converted by a transformer into an isolated, balanced, low impedance signal output. The Dual Z Direct's audio transformers have an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels. This gives the Dual Z Direct a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments.
The input ATTENUATOR switches allow for a wide range of signal levels and the input THRU jacks allows for tapping off of your signal chain. The GROUND LIFT switches let you totally separate the input and output signal grounds, when appropriate, to isolate two systems, thereby reducing hum and ground-loop noise.
What further sets the Dual Z Direct apart from other DI boxes are its extended features and versatility. We have added switchable low pass FILTERs that cut out all very high frequency interference. These Bessel filters on the outputs are placed out of the audio range and are primarily intended to reduce radio frequency interference before it gets into the main system. The filters are also very effective in reducing any digital computer noise artefacts when using the Dual Z Direct as an interface between a computer-based audio workstation and your monitors. The PHASE INVERT switches, while not normally included with your 'run of the mill' DI box, have been added to allow you to switch signal polarity right at the source. This feature is especially handy when you are combining a direct tap with a microphone feed in the mix.
The compact black-anodised all aluminium case and it's passive design allow the Dual Z Direct to provide years of trouble free service in Live Sound, Permanent/Fixed Install, D.J., and virtually any PA application. It's full feature set, rugged construction, and high-end specifications make the Dual Z Direct the obvious choice.

About Us
absolutemusic was set up over ten years ago by a group of passionate audio professionals who wanted to deliver better service and greater savings on music gear than could be found anywhere else.
We’ve since grown into one of the UK’s leading music retailers and we've recently moved into a huge new two-storey superstore boasting three massive guitar display walls and dedicated departments for drums, guitars, DJ, live sound, synths & keyboards, hi-tech and accessories. We also have four guitar booths, two soundproofed drum booths, an in-house Guitar Workshop and a unique monitor-auditioning studio designed by acoustician Andy Munro.
Next door is our café and complex of rehearsal and tuition studios available for hire seven days a week, where we also run regular workshops, instrumental lessons, demo events and recording sessions. Soon to be added is a professional recording studio and control room.
Every member of our 50-strong absolutemusic team is an experienced musician or engineer who can offer you accurate, expert advice on anything from vintage guitars to the latest software. We pride ourselves on always recommending the right products for the job, most of which can be sent out on next-day delivery!
As well as our busy sales and studio departments, we have a super-supportive Technical Support department who can offer advice and help with your gear, and a flexible Hire Department offering a wide range of gear available for your upcoming events.
Join us here soon to see our amazing 14,000-square-foot showroom and 10,000-square-foot studio complex, and to enjoy our regular in-store events. (absolutemusic, Knighton Heath Estate, 855 Ringwood Road, Bournemouth, BH11 8NE)
