{"product_id":"hosa-dib-490","title":"Hosa DIB-490 Pro-Conex Sidekick Active Stereo DI Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hosa DIB-490 is built for keyboardists, synth players, and electronic musicians who need a reliable, low-noise path from stereo instruments into a mixing console or DAW. As part of the Pro-Conex Sidekick direct box series, it draws 48V phantom power from the console to maintain a high input impedance that protects transient response and full frequency content from high-impedance sources — no batteries required, no signal degradation at the input stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dual-channel configuration makes the DIB-490 a practical choice across a range of live and studio scenarios: connect a stereo synthesizer, a drum machine with stereo outputs, or two independent mono instruments through a single compact unit. For touring engineers managing dense backline setups, or studio engineers routing multiple electronic instruments, the single-box solution reduces cable clutter and stage real estate without compromising signal quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere passive DI boxes can load down high-impedance sources and dull transient edges, the active circuitry in the DIB-490 maintains source integrity all the way to the balanced XLR outputs. Within the Sidekick series, the DIB-490 is the purpose-built choice when stereo source handling or dual-mono routing is the requirement — not an afterthought achieved by doubling up single-channel units.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosa Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53800624849080,"sku":"207712","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/207712_DIB-490_ALT01sqr.jpg?v=1784816724","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/hosa-dib-490","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
