The Fame DI-100 is a professional active direct box designed for both stage and studio applications, providing high-quality impedance matching and signal balancing. It excels at converting high-impedance, unbalanced signals (such as those from guitars, basses, or keyboards) into a clean, balanced XLR signal suitable for long cable runs to a mixing console.
Housed in a rugged, road-proof aluminum chassis with protective rubber corners, the DI-100 is built for durability and can be stacked for multi-channel setups. It offers an exceptionally flat frequency response of 10Hz – 40kHz, ensuring the natural tone of your instrument is preserved.
Technical Specifications:
