Description

A Passive DI Box That’s Anything but Ordinary

With a Cinemag transformer and a heap of functionality, the Warm Audio Passive 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 Passive 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 Passive 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 Sweetwater. For a high-quality DI box at an incredible price, check out the Passive Direct Box from Warm Audio.

Whether you play guitar, bass, keyboards, or another stringed instrument, you’ll need a direct box that won’t diminish your instrument’s tone, like the Direct Box Active and Direct Box Passive from Warm Audio.

Built around world-famous CineMag USA Transformer topology and engineering.
Constructed with top-tier discrete components housed in rugged aluminum chassis, including switches, knobs, and connectors designed to withstand heavy use on the road or in the studio.

Product Features


Premium Components Every aspect of our direct boxes is designed for maximum sonic integrity. You can expect warm, rich tone even after long cable runs, and the extruded aluminum enclosure ensures a long life span. So when you need to convert an instrument-level signal to mic-level with sonic quality as your top priority, you’ll be well-served with our DI Boxes.	New DI Box Experience Both of our Direct Boxes offer a Thru-put jack that is jumpered to the input jack. This convenience jack allows you to send your instrument’s signal to a second place in addition to the live mixer or recording device. Our Direct Boxes can also take a recorded signal at line level and send it to another line input while simultaneously sending the signal out of the XLR mic-level output of the Direct Box.	Applications of Passive and Active DI Box Direct Box Active is best for instruments with passive pickups, especially acoustic instruments. The Direct Box Active can also operate in “passive” mode. Direct Box Passive is best for balancing the signal of instruments with active electronics but still performs exceptionally well on passive pickups by producing a frequency range that exceeds the bandwidth of most passive DI boxes on the market.
