DI Boxes & Accessories

"When I connect the inputs of my two amplifiers together, there is a lot of humming." This or similar questions are often asked in the technology section of specialist magazines. The Palmer Y-Box offers the solution to this problem. An FET input circuit converts the high-impedance guitar signal and simultaneously forms the driver circuit for a transformer, which routes the signal to the output without grounding - thus eliminating a hum loop. Operation with a 9V battery is recommended.The PGA03 Y-Box can also be used as a cable driver for long cable lengths. In addition, the signal from output AMP2 can be switched out of phase, which is usually necessary when connecting two preamps or integrated amplifiers in parallel.

The TDP-2 (dual) is a new passive DI box that combines first-class components with a stable construction. This results in a reliable DI box with a rich, warm tone. By utilising an OEP/Carnhill (Made in UK) transformer, together with a 'less is more' design approach, this Telefunken passive DI box offers ambience and character to match the sound of your instruments.The high quality transformer is just one of the important design elements of the TDP series DI boxes. The circuit boards are 100% hand-assembled using only through-hole components (THT), which provide a more secure and reliable connection than surface-mounted components. All tracks are gold-plated to ensure maximum conductivity over the entire service life. The high input impedance does not stress passive pickups. The frequency response of the circuit is ± 2dB from 10 Hz to 40 kHz with extremely low distortion and inherent noise.The circuit is housed in an extremely robust pressed aluminium housing with recessed switches and connections. This construction is practically indestructible and can easily cope with the daily demands of concert use. Each channel has two robust switches for activating 15 dB attenuation and ground lift. The TDP-2 offers two independent channels with separate controls, making it possible to connect two instruments with just one DI box on stage or in the studio.

The PAC500AU is a simple solution for transmitting audio signals without interference over long distances (up to 500m cable). A set consists of two units, each of which can be used for both transmitting and receiving. The PAC500AU does not require any power supply and there is no conversion to a digital format - it simply utilises the better shielding of CAT cables compared to conventional audio cables to transmit the signals. This also means that this system requires no special effort to set up - simply plug and play.

The J33 is a combination of phono preamplifier with RIAA equalisation and DI box that allows turntables to be connected directly to microphone preamps and professional mixing consoles for improved signal transmission. The J33 is particularly interesting for recording engineers and DJs who want to sample record tracks, create archive recordings or transfer vinyl albums to digital media, and is of course also ideal for use in live DJ performances. Switchable between 48V phantom power and external power supply.

Backing tracks are now common practice on major tours. This fulfils the audience's expectations in terms of sound quality and variety without incurring the enormous travel costs for an orchestra. To guarantee a smooth performance, the Radial SW8 allows both manual and automatic switching to a backup playback device should the primary system fail. For larger systems, several SW8s can becan be linked together.

Temple Audio designed the STUDIO MOD primarily as a re-amp device for receiving a balanced signal from your recording interface. This has evolved into much more! The active input buffer ensures the integrity of the signal and the DI provides a balanced XLR output for recording a high quality dry sound that is later used for re-recording.With STUDIO MOD, your customers can record their guitar dry and later decide on the perfect amp, pedal settings and microphone placement. This makes recording stress-free and non-binding.The STUDIO MOD is equipped with a first-class operational amplifier and offers a low-impedance and balanced output for clean and clear recordings.

The Telefunken TDA-1 (mono) is an active FET DI box that utilises premium components in a reimagined classic circuit to achieve a rich sonic character that preserves the natural sound of your instrument. The TDA circuit utilises discrete Class A FET technology in conjunction with a high quality transformer, resulting in the perfect balance between clean sound with plenty of headroom and a warm, saturated tone.At the heart of the circuit is a specially wound output transformer from OEP/Carnhill (made in the UK). The circuit utilises gold plated traces and is fully hand assembled with through-hole components (THT), which provide a more secure and reliable connection than surface mount components. The frequency response of the circuit is ± 2dB from 20 Hz to 70 kHz with extremely low distortion and noise. Each individual unit is optimised by hand for the lowest possible distortion. The high input impedance does not affect passive pickups. This attention to detail and the high-quality components result in a DI box that combines a harmonically rich low-end with a detailed and clear high-end.The circuitry is housed in an extremely robust pressed aluminium enclosure with recessed switches and connections. This construction is practically indestructible and can easily cope with the daily demands of concert use. Each channel has two robust switches for activating a 15 dB attenuation and the ground lift. The circuit is powered by the standard +48V phantom power supply, and an LED indicates the operating status.
