Pyle-Pro Dual 1/4-Inch Instrument to Balanced and Unbalanced, 1/4-Inch/XLR Direct Box PDC22
From the Manufacturer
Dual Direct Box Click here for a larger image Inputs and amp; Outputs Click here for a larger image Connect to High-Power Signals Click here for a larger image Convert the Output of Unbalanced Devices Click here for a larger image Professional Power A dual direct box or dual DI box, provides the facility for the direct insertion of an audio signal into a mixer or recorder. The PDC22 offers a variety of DI solutions for live sound and recording applications. You can connect all kinds of audio signals like guitars, keyboards, outboard signal processors and even high-powered speaker output from an amplifier. This unit enables you to tap off the signal from a guitar or bass guitar and pass the signal from the Para Output to the on stage amplifier without affecting the original sound. This can eliminate the need for mixing the guitar amplifier, which in many cases is preferable, especially with bass guitar. Clean Audio The unit is also very useful for connecting unbalanced signals from sources like signals DJ and sub-mixers, effects processors and keyboards to a main PA or recording mixer. The PDC22 balanced outputs provide a clean signal at a low level as long as runs of cable are possible. Another benefit from a balanced connection is common mode rejection, which provides cancellation of unwanted sounds (hums and buzzes) while leaving the original signal pure. Direct Insertion of an Instrument to PA System One of the most popular uses of a DI box is getting the signal of the bass guitar to the PA system. Simply put, the low frequencies produced by bass are difficult to mic/record, so use of a DI box is almost always preferable. Versatile Have the capability of tapping off signals from amplifiers, such as the output or guitar amp or power amplifier. You can even connect this unit to the speaker output of a consumer stereo system or boom box -if you want to sample some old records or cassette tapes. This DI box also does a great job in the studio for connecting unbalanced devices. For instance, the output levels of many keyboards are low, so their signals can benefit generally by connecting their unbalanced outputs to the unit which makes the signal to move cleanly without interruption. The signal will be allowed to travel for long distances while benefiting from the low noise and common mode rejection provided by this unit's balanced low-level output.

Easily Connects Instruments
Getting the signal of a musical instrument to the PA system is easier with this direct box. Just connect the electric bass, guitar, keyboard or other processors to the ground lift adapter & enjoy pure & clean audio
Great Sound, Exceptional Value
PDC22 is ultra-compact and housed in a tough, road-ready metal case. This means the PDC22 box will give you great sound gig after gig, session after session. And thanks to its low price, you can afford to outfit the entire band. See for yourself what it can do for your sound.
Direct and Clear Sound
With its parallel ¼ " In and Out jacks, the PDC22 allows you to plug in your instrument and send the same signal to your onstage amplifier, while the XLR Output sends a balanced signal to your mixer. You can even plug your guitar, bass or keyboard amp’s speaker output into the PDC22, which can handle ratings and still deliver a perfect signal. The superior ground-lift switch eliminates hum associated with ground loops.
Truly Trans-formative
The secret to the PDC22 ruler-flat frequency response is its balanced-line transformer. Praised by audio engineers the world over, the OT-2 provides superior signal isolation from local AC and RF hum, and the ultimate in impedance matching. The resulting output signal is entirely true to the original source - in all its pristine glory.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good passive DI box.
Verified PurchaseThis DI does the job well. The box is heavy and sturdy too.
Couple of suggestions:
1) The ATT switch is not good. At times this induces noise. The switch is weak.
2) Some way to do external grounding will be helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works well
Verified PurchaseDoes exactly what it supposed to. It’s built well enough for most applications and the sound coming out is just as good (or bad) as what you put in.
It’s a steal at this price.
If you need to impress your friends with brand names then spend a lot more money. Otherwise this does the job perfectly well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfetta!
Verified PurchaseLa soluzione di cui avevo bisogno. Capita spesso di dover registrare chitarristi sia microfonando l'ampli che tenendo una copia del segnale pulito,e qui è dove questa scheda splende! Laddove l'ampli manca di uscite D.I. questa scheda permette di avere una copia del segnale pulita! Per non parlare della comodità di poter bilanciare segnali come uscite tastiere, bassi, chitarre acustiche o come detto prima chitarre elettriche. Il pad è molto pulito! Insomma, consigliato sotto ogni punto di vista!
Giuseppe ErnandezPerfetta!
