On-Stage DB1000 Active Mono DI Box
Key Features
  • Connect a Keyboard to a Mic Input
  • Connect a Guitar/Bass to a Mic Input
  • Converts Instrument Level to Mic Level
  • Adapts Unbalanced Hi-Z to Balanced Lo-Z
Connect your keyboard, guitar, or bass directly to your preferred mic preamp with the On-Stage DB1000 active mono DI box. It adapts a high-impedance, instrument-level 1/4" TS input to a low-impedance, mic-level XLR output. By converting your signal from unbalanced to balanced, it allows longer cable runs, less noise, and proper compatibility with mic inputs.

A 1/4" TS thru jack provides an unbalanced pass-through to an instrument amplifier or pedalboard. Flip the -15 dB pad switch to prevent distortion when accepting high-output sources, and utilize the ground-lift switch to rid your signal of hum from ground loops. Since the DB1000 is a phantom-powered direct box, no batteries, power cables, or AC adapters are required. It features a durable metal housing with protective nylon bumpers, making it equally well suited for constant use in the studio, on stage, or at home.
