DI-10 Passive Direct Box
Low profile, high headroom
No hum, no headache, no tone shift—just a bulletproof DI that gets out of the way. We made the DI-10 to our dream specs: custom-wound transformer for full-band frequency response and perfect isolation, high input impedance that feels natural to play through, and a low-profile enclosure that fits anywhere without demanding attention. The result is a DI that takes guitar, bass, and keys straight into mic preamps with zero noise and zero colouration—simple, reliable, and built to outlast everything else on your desk.

10-Year Warranty

Plug in
Connect your guitar, bass, synth or drum machine to the DI-10 input using a standard instrument cable. The high input impedance input preserves your tone and playing feel.
Send It
Run a balanced XLR cable from the DI-10 output to your mic preamp or interface. The custom transformer converts your signal cleanly with zero added noise or tone shift.
Get Playing
That's it. The DI-10 gets out of the way and lets your instrument sound like itself—just cleaner, quieter, and ready for any preamp or processing you throw at it.

No power needed
The DI-10 has a fully passive design, so you don't have to worry about freeing up an outlet.
