Pro Co DBA-1

Professional Active Direct Box

Price: $214.99

The DBA1 is the first active direct box offered by ProCo, the industry leader in pro audio direct boxes. While the extra robust case looks the same as the DB1, one of the industry's top passive direct boxes, that's where the similarities end.

Under the utilitarian cover beats the heart of a thoroughbred. The DBA1 offers both electronic balancing and impedance matching. It features a 1/4" input and a parallel 1/4" output, plus an unbalanced XLR input for easy line checks.

Also on the input side is a two step PAD for up to 40dB of attenuation and a clip indicator to warn when the input is being overdriven. On the output side, is a balanced XLR output, a ground lift switch, and a phantom power indicator to con!rm the presence of phantom power at the mic cable.

The DBA1 utilizes Pro Co's industry leading MBT1 isolation transformer for signal-path decoupling. Low noise, a high dynamic range, and extended frequency response makes the DBA1 a great choice for all active direct injection needs.
