Whirlwind DIRECTOR - Studio or PA Direct Box with 30 dB Pad and High Cut Filter Switches
The Director direct box from Whirlwind converts an unbalanced line, instrument or speaker level signal to low impedance balanced microphone level, which is then suitable for imputing to a console or microphone preamp.
The Director is a passive device and therefore requires no external power supply. The unit features a ground lift switch and a 30dB pad for selecting between line/instrument or speaker level signals.
- 1/4" parallel wired in/out jacks
- 30dB pad switch for selecting between line/instrument or speaker level input signals
- Ground Lift switch to help eliminate hum and buzz

Comments about Whirlwind DIRECTOR - Studio or PA Direct Box:
I've used this on pickups from a number of acoustic instruments: violins, mandolins, guitars, etc. It always has a clean sound and the features I need to enhance the quality (if necessary) like a ground/lift switch, impedance switch for the input (instrument/amp) and a filter switch. Plus it's passive so I don't have to worry about phantom power. I love it!
