DUAL X Direct

Dual Professsional Active Direct Box
The DUALXDirect provides two independent high quality
active interfaces that let you connect instrument, line,
or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced inputs.
Each of the high impedance 1/4" and XLR inputs
(provided via "combo" jacks) are buffered and converted by
very low noise active electronics into an isolated, balanced,
low impedance signal output. The DUALXDirect has an extremely
flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal
levels. This gives the DUALXDirect 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 allow 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.

The DUALXDirect''s active circuitry is powered by phantom voltage
from the OUTPUT connections or by an internal 9V battery, when
external power is not available. When powered by a battery, it draws
less than 7.5 mA which should provide more than 100 hours of operation
with a new battery (alkaline recommended). If phantom power is available,
then the DUALXDirect will automatically draw its power from the external
source. The POWER ON/OFF switch lights more dimly when the unit is
running off of the battery, lights more brightly when it is running off of
phantom power, and is
