{"product_id":"hosa-dib-445","title":"Hosa DIB-445 Active DI Box With Pad, Lift, and Polarity Controls","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hosa DIB-445 Sidekick is a 48V phantom-powered active DI box designed for engineers and musicians who need a reliable, full-featured direct box for live sound, studio tracking, and installed audio applications. Its high input impedance active circuitry preserves the natural tone of instruments — guitars, basses, and keyboards — without the signal degradation common in passive designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the DIB-445 stands out against basic passive DI boxes is in its onboard signal management: a three-position pad switch handles everything from line-level keyboards to hot active pickups, a ground lift switch kills AC hum introduced by ground loops in complex stage or studio rigs, and a polarity flip switch resolves phase cancellation issues without patching. This combination of controls in a single compact unit reduces the need for additional outboard gear at the instrument end of the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe all-metal housing makes the DIB-445 suitable for touring and repeated use cases where plastic-bodied alternatives fail under road stress. With a single balanced XLR output feeding the console and a thru output passing signal to a stage amp, it fits seamlessly into any live or recording workflow where a clean, controlled instrument feed is required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosa Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53800624881848,"sku":"207711","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/207711_DIB-445_ALT01sqr.jpg?v=1784816678","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/hosa-dib-445","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
