Warm Audio WA-DI-A Active Direct Box (WADIA WA DI A)

With a Cinemag transformer and a heap of functionality, the Warm Audio Active Direct Box is not your run-of-the-mill DI. Designed and manufactured to the same exacting standards as the rest of Warm Audio’s lineup of value-packed gear, the Active Direct Box converts high-impedance unbalanced signals from guitars, basses, and other instruments, to low-impedance balanced signals without compromising clarity or tone. The Warm Audio Active Direct Box includes a variable pad with a range of -3dB to -30dB — so you can input the optimal amount of signal to prevent distortion from overly hot sources — and a ground lift switch to help knock out buzz and hum caused by ground loops. Unique among DI boxes, the Amp Out option lets you run your guitar or bass amp’s output directly into a mixer or recording interface — a feature that caught the attention of front-of-house and studio engineers at Music Bliss. For a high-quality DI box at an incredible price, check out the Active Direct Box from Warm Audio.
