dbx dB12 Active Direct Box Black

The DBX DB12 Active Direct Box includes all the features of the dB10 but with Active electronics The aggressive styling of its solid, road-worthy, cast-metal chassis is a departure from the usual utilitarian look of most direct boxes. Driven by phantom power supplied by a mixing consolea€ s mic input, the dB12a€ s active circuitry operates from 20V to 48V. A green power LED shows the status of the phantom power source. The dB12a€ s high input impedance and low-noise buffered active circuitry faithfully preserve the tone and signal characteristics of the instrument source. It also includes a custom dbx mu-metal-shielded isolation transformer, tailored to complement the active circuitry and provide a clean balanced output signal. In addition to its rugged design, a unique feature of the the dB10 is its heavy-duty molded rubber skid pad, which not only provides a solid, non-skid surface, but is contoured to mate with the tiered surface of the chassis top, making stable stacking of multiple boxes possible for a cleaner, compact arrangement.
