PRO CO SOUND CB-1 PASSIVE DI BOX

Passive direct box for connection of unbalanced musical instruments
and line-level sources to low-Z balanced microphone input for PA or
recording. Not recommended for speaker-level use. 1/4" (6.35mm) input
(with parallel 1/4" output). Switch for ground lift. Male XLR-type balanced
mic-level output. Uses Pro Co CBT-1 transformer (20k/150 ohm).

Tube-buffered DI-Box DI-1000

The Tube-Buffered DI-Box DI-1000 allows the extraction of all the musical details of
musical interfaces without degrading the sound. This can only be achieved by
providing a very high input impedance to avoid any loading of instrument pickups.This
design approach allows seemingly infinite headroom to preserve the real dynamic range
of the interfaced instruments.A vacuum tube enables all these goals to be achieved
without any compromises in sound quality.The sonic difference between a standard
DI-Box and the Tube-Buffered DI-Box is comparable to the musical resolution difference
between a standard microphone and a studio microphone.One of the best transformers,
the very transparent sounding JENSEN JT-DB-E, was chosen providing complete ground
isolation. The parameters of this transformer, like frequency response, phase response,
group delay and geadroom capabilities, play a vital part in the performance of this DI-Box.
 
Technical Specifications
Input
The signal of the instrument is directly fed to the tube circuit with > 20 MOhms input
impedance to prevent any signal degradation, inevitable in traditional designs.
Buffered Output“
The second stage of the vacuum tube is used to buffer the signal and lower the output
impedance to < 8 kOhms. This unity gain output allows for cable runs of 10 meters
without loosing high frequency information.
Boost circuit
The boost circuit increases the signal send to the output transformer by 15 dB. This may
be useful for instruments with extremely low output, but decreases headroom capability
to 6 Volt rms. Under these circumstances the signal may be clipped, concerning the output
transformer?s signal, which gives you 2nd harmonic tube-like distortion. This distortion
normally does not occur - but is sometimes desirable, being the reason for this special feature.
Unity circuit
The unity circuit feeds a low distortion unity gain signal to the JENSEN output transformer.
This gives the best possible sound quality.
Ground-lift“-Switch
This front panel mounted switch allows complete ground and electrical isolation between the
direct injection box and the console or recording device.

Construction details
Double sided glass fibre contacted PCB with 70 mm copper plating. 1% metal film resistors
and the finest polypropylene capacitors are used in the signal path. MIL type Switchcraft jacks
and high performance switches ensure flawless operation. The power supply is optimised via
measurement quality toroid transformer and a low impedance design to ensure the lowest
possible noise. Through a double sided PCB all parts are roadworthy secured. A waterclear
blue LED perfects the aesthetics of the DI box.

Active DI-Box SM-60

The electronic Direct-Injection Box SM-60 allows direct connection of electronic
music instruments such as keyboards, synthesizers, electric and electronic pianos,
etc. with mixing consoles in PA-systems and in recording studios.
The SM-6 is designed for applications, where a passive DI-Box does not perfom
satisfactorily, i.e., where the output level of a passive DI-Box is too low for the microphone
input section of the mixing desk.
Because the input impedance of the SM-6 is above 5 MOhm, instrument outputs are
not loaded or in any other way adversely affected. The voltage ratio from input to output
is 1: 1 and is always sufficient for connection with any microphone input. Input connectors
are 1/4" phone jacks, output connector is a Switchcraft D3M; output is 600 Ohms,
transformer balanced. The output level may in certain cases overload microphone inputs -
the line input section of the mixing console must then be used for connecting the SM-6.
The unit operates with a 9 V battery or phantom powering from 24 to 48 volts.
