This DI Box Has Everything But A High Price!
The ART Xdirect Professional Active Direct Box is a high quality active interface that lets you connect instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced input. The Xdirect is a high quality, rugged and affordable enhancement to any professional studio, home recording, and touring or installed live performance sound system.

ART Xdirect Professional Active Direct Box at a Glance:
  • High quality, affordable active direct box
  • Unique special filters reject interference
  • Input attenuator and phase invert features usually found on high-priced DI boxes
  • Compact design and battery power capability for remote use

Compact, economical, high quality direct box!
The Xdirect is a high quality interface that lets you connect instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced input. The high impedance single-ended 1/4" and XLR inputs are buffered and converted, by very low noise active electronics, into an isolated balanced low impedance signal source. The Xdirect has an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels while still maintaining an isolated balanced low impedance output. This gives the Xdirect a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments.

Filters for interference-free signal transmission
Unlike traditional direct boxes, the Xdirect features a switchable low pass filter that cuts out all very high frequency interference. This Bessel filter on the output is placed out of the audio range and is reduces radio frequency interference before it gets into the main system. The filter is also very effective in reducing any digital computer noise artifacts when using the Xdirect as an interface between a computer DAW and monitors.

Whatever your signal level, the Xdirect can handle it!
The Xdirect's Input Attenuator switches allow for a wide range of signal levels and the Input Link jack lets you tap off of your signal chain. The Ground Lift switch lets you totally separate the input and output signal grounds, when appropriate, to isolate two systems - reducing hum and ground-loop noise in the process. Another non-traditional feature is a Phase Inversion switch that allows you to switch signal polarity right at the source.

A sturdy case and power options for any application
The compact black anodized all aluminum case and its flexible power design allow the Xdirect to provide years of trouble free service in live sound, permanent installations, DJ booths, and virtually any PA application. The Xdirect can be powered by an internal 9-volt battery or via phantom power at the XLR output. It senses phantom power and will automatically draw from that source. The full feature set, rugged construction, and high-end specifications make the Xdirect the obvious choice whenever you have to interface high impedance sources with a low noise balanced system.


ART Xdirect Professional Active Direct Box Features:
  • A stylish and very compact durable aluminum chassis
  • Input Attenuator switches for a wide range of signal levels
  • Phase Invert switch on the box for quick phase corrections
  • An "input thru" jack that allows for tapping off of the signal chain.
  • A ground lift switch which lets you totally separate the input and output signal grounds, to reduce hum and ground-loop noise

The ART Xdirect Professional Active Direct Box: Affordable and Essential!
