DOD AC275 ACTIVE D.I BOX

275 Active Direct Box

The DOD AC275 is an active direct box offering high to low impedance conversions. It can
accept high impedance line level signals, or powered speaker outputs to provide a low
impedance feed tapped from in-between the amp and the speaker cabinet. The AC275 also
includes a switchable ground lift and dB pad, as well as operating on battery or phantom power.

The AC 275 is an active, phantom powered direct box. Unlike a passive DI where the frequency response of the signal can be altered depending on the connected impedance, an active DI buffers the input signal with an amplifier. This assures that the sound source will reach the mixer balanced and noise-free.

Housed in a cast alloy chassis, the AC 275 supplies two, high impedance, unbalanced 1/4" jacks and one low impedance balanced XLR jack. It operates with battery or phantom power.

At dbx, when we do something, we do it right. So when we decided to create our new direct injection boxes, we didnʼt settle for the same old tired approach to direct box design. With our dbx name on the line, how could we? One look at our new dB10 Passive and dB12 Active direct boxes will tell you that these are clearly different. With their bullet-proof construction, and extraordinary audio performance to rival their looks, finally thereʼs a direct box worthy of the dbx name.

Utilizing custom dbx mu-metal-shielded audio transformers, high-quality Neutrik® connectors, and low-noise circuitry preserves the sonic integrity and true characteristics of the signal source. Both boxes include a pad switch that accomodates instrument, line and even speaker level signals. Take even more control of your sound by utilizing the polarity invert switch to set the phase relationship between the direct and mic'd sound.

As a professional, you donʼt have time for interference, so weʼve included a ground lift switch to solve potential hum and buzz problems due to ground loops. And between the combined shielding of the cast metal chassis and the custom-wound transformer, you can be doubly assured of a clean signal free from interference. All of this sits atop a solid, stable footprint, that will keep the box from being dragged around the stage, and the unique contoured underside allows secure stacking of multiple units.

So whether you need to control the level, placement in the mix, or overall characteristics of 4 independent signals or control the gain leveling on a couple of stereo pairs, the dbx dB10 dB12 is for you.

The Stewart ADB-1 is a single channel active direct box that allows an unbalanced source to
directly feed a balanced input. Musical instruments, tape recorders, VCRs and sound projectors
can be run "direct" to the mixing console, avoiding unnecessary degradation of sound quality.
The ADB-1 operates on either phantom power or a 9-volt battery.

FEATURES:
Flat response
Low distortion
Low noise
Wide dynamic range
No transformer
RF protection on input and output
Switchable ground isolation
Flush mounted slide switches
