road-ready DI box
The PDB Passive Direct Box from ART is a tough, reliable and road-worthy DI for the connection of the outputs of all manner of electronic musical instruments, to the balanced inputs of mixer consoles and other balanced inputs.
ART’s PDB also offers the ability to connect a music source to an instruments amplifier, all whilst simultaneously patching it to the mixer of your choice.

Potential Applications
Electric guitar and bass pick up output signalsThe high impedance signal from a guitar or bass guitar pickup is translated by the PDB™ into a low impedance balanced signal required by mixing consoles.
DJ console output signalsDJ mixers often supply only an unbalanced -10dB signal. The PDB™ converts this signal to a balanced line level signal before it reaches the console, while providing a convenient method of connector transition with the capability to run long cables.
Keyboards and line level signalsThe PDB™ automatically balances and matches the line level outputs of modern electronic keyboards. If you are using a multiple keyboard setup and your keyboards are all plugged into a single instrument amplifier, the PDB™ can be used to replace individual direct boxes. Simply send the output of the instrument amplifier to the PDB™ and then to the console (instead of a separate DI box for each keyboard).
Speaker level signalsThe PDB’s ability to accept speaker level inputs from a power amplifier’s output allows post-amplifier, post eq and effects signals to be fed directly to the console. In this manner, a particular effect or amplifier sound can be sent directly to the mix.
