{"product_id":"rapcohorizon-db-1","title":"RapcoHorizon DB Direct Box | DB-1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe RapcoHorizon DB Direct Box line is built for engineers and musicians who need a dependable passive DI solution without the complexity of active circuitry. These boxes require no batteries or phantom power, making them ideal for stage plots where power management is a concern, or for use in environments where a simple, road-worthy signal conversion tool is essential. Whether feeding a front-of-house console from an acoustic guitar, keyboard, or bass rig, the DB Direct Box family delivers transformer-isolated, balanced output at mic level through a standard XLR connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for touring musicians, live sound engineers, and installed AV applications, the DB Direct Box is built around a discrete transformer for reliable impedance matching from Hi-Z instrument sources to Lo-Z console inputs. The loop-through 1\/4-inch jack preserves the signal path for a stage amplifier, and the panel-mounted ground lift switch eliminates ground loop hum in virtually any venue or system configuration. Compact and durable enough for permanent rack-adjacent installs or daily gigging, this passive DI handles the workload without adding variables to the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared to active DI alternatives, the passive design of the DB Direct Box eliminates potential coloration from preamp stages and removes dependency on power sources — a meaningful advantage in fly-date touring scenarios or permanent installs where long-term reliability matters more than extended feature sets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RapcoHorizon Int RHC Holding","offers":[{"title":"DB-1","offer_id":52446361747640,"sku":"53719","price":74.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/53719_RAPHOR-DB-1_ALT01.jpg?v=1783628356","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/rapcohorizon-db-1","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
