ART DUAL RDB Overview

The Dual RDB from ART is a dual re-amping direct box that is an ideal solution for any application where stereo or dual line level signals from recording interfaces, computers, mixers, iPods, consumer audio or video machines need to be connected to XLR microphone or 1/4" instrument level inputs. The interface functions transparently with any high quality audio source.

The unit features both 1/4" TRS phone and XLR inputs, and outputs microphone or instrument levels. Two variable input level controls allow for proper level staging at the source rather than anywhere else in the signal chain. Two high-quality isolation transformers prevent ground loops from occurring when connecting various systems together.

ART DUAL RDB Reviews

reamp with guitar pedals from DAW

By Adrianna
Rated 5 out of 5

I purchased this to run pre-recorded tracks out of my computer/DAW, into guitar pedals, and then back to re-record tracks into my DAW. The ART worked just fine as intended. I had a bit of a learning curve to figure out the proper settings in my computer/DAW/Interface to make it work, but that was no fault of the ART.

2 channels for a single channel price!

I use this in the studio to re-amp my guitar tracks to beef up the guitar sound with the ability to select various amp tones that works best for the song once all the other tracks are added. Very cool!

Can this accept mic level signals on XLR inputs ...

Can this accept mic level signals on XLR inputs 1&2? I want to use this on my mixer end for two mic signals to line level inputs
Asked by: Justin
No. The ART Dual RDB Dual Re-Amping Direct Box accepts line level input only, as it does not include any mic preamps. The Dual RDB outputs mic level or instrument level audio signal. You could use a device like the Rolls MX310 MorMics 3-Channel Mic Mixer/Combiner (B&H # ROMX310), which will allow you to connect up to three XLR microphones and it has a single XLR output that is switchable for mic level or line level output.
