PSG Audio DB-MKI Passive Direct Box with Ground Lift and Attenuator

The DB-MKI is one of the most useful and versatile tools available and indispensable in enabling easy interfacing and connection between various audio gear in numerous applications.

Throw the Sound Block in a bag, trunk, or anywhere cable and misc. audio supplies are stored. The heavyduty construction and passive electronics make the Sound Block nearly indestructible. This Direct Interface is extremely versatile as a Lo to HiZ transformer for electric instruments and devices to XLR mic inputs or as LoHiZ to use a microphone with a guitar amp (not recommended only because guitar amps make terrible PAs).

High level outputs from active instruments and even speaker outputs are not a problem when using the 20 or 40 db attenuator switch. The Sound Block is a very easy to use passive device. Simply plug your 1/4 output from a guitar or electric piano, plug an XLR cable into your mixers channel input, and youre done. A ground lift is provided for use in older buildings with janky wiring or if circuits are different from stage to where the sound system is located.

Features
Perfect for all live sound permanent installations, club, church and
practice PA systems, monitor systems, home and project recording
studios, karaoke and DJ sound systems.
Enables the connection of any unbalanced audio source signal (such as from an electric instrument, keyboardeven from an amp speaker output) to any balanced input (such as that of a mixer).
Parallel Output allows simultaneous connection to 2 separate inputs (such as to an amp and mixer).
Translates high-impedance instrument outputs into low-impedance balanced signals or balanced low-impedance balanced signals into unbalanced outputs.
Converts unbalanced +10dB DJ mixer signals to balanced line level signals, enabling both easier interfacing with consoles and longer cable runs.
Enables multiple keyboard setups plugged into an instrument amp to be directly input to a console mixer by connecting the speaker outputs of the amp to the console input through the DB-1, thus eliminating the need for a derect box on each keyboard.
3-position input attenuation switch (0dB, -20dB, -40dB) facilitates proper output signal levels for optimum level matching to connected equipment.
Switchable ground lift eliminates ground loop hum problems.
Rugged, roadworthy all-steel construction for years of continuous reliability
