DI-10 Passive Direct Box

255 AUD

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.

High headroom, ultra-low noise

Minimal design, built to blend in with your favourite gear

Desktop friendly

Passive design, no power needed

Connections

Input
Mono input for sources like synths, keyboards, drum machines, guitars and basses.

Output
DI balanced XLR output for sending to your audio interface or preferred mic preamp chain.

An untouched copy of your original input signal for use in parallel processing, or sending to amps.

10-Year Warranty

We don't make anything that wouldn't be proud to have in our own studios, and we back our products 100%. That's why the DI-10 comes with a 10 year warranty.

In The Wild

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.
