SWAMP DB-1 Passive Direct Injection Box - DI Box
An incredible DI, the SWAMP DB-1 Passive Direct Box a professional solution for transforming high-impedance, unbalanced instrument outputs to low-impedance, balanced inputs, such as plugging instruments into a mic preamp on a mixer. For stage and studio.

When to use a DI?
A DI box basically turns an "instrument" signal into a "mic" signal. It is used when you have an unbalanced, high impedance instrument, like a guitar or keyboard, and want to plug it into balanced XLR microphone input, such as on a mixing desk / PA system. Vital for stage performers that are required to plug into balanced XLR multicore stage boxes.
