Super affordable, super effective, and super flexible!

The Zdirect Professional Passive Direct Box is a high-quality interface that lets you connect instrument, line, or speaker-level signals to a mixer or other balanced input through a high-performance audio isolation transformer.

Extremely flat and wide frequency response with high signal level handling. The ART Zdirect delivers clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in otherwise high-noise , live sound environments.

Great Value-Rugged Gem--Buy this one

This direct box has allot of great features, is rugged, cool looking and is completely transparent. When I switch effects on my guitar, sometimes the signal levels change drastically. The built in pads on the ART DI box are perfect for knocking down the really loud effects. In fact, it was so effective, the sound guy never knew the difference.

The filter helps with hum too.

The case is cool looking and solid. Cast anodized aluminum I think. Over time it probably will get scratched up, but so what, I like my equipment to have that worn in look.

When the venue I run audio at needed a direct box, the ART ZDirect Passive was my first choice! ART products are always top-notch in quality, making ART a brand I can rely on. With phase invert, low-pass filter at 30Hz, two 20dB pad switches, ground lift switch, and 1/4" tap to run to an amp; this little gem has all the tools you could possibly need from a direct box! Plug your instrument into the 1/4" in, plug the XLR output to the mixer, and you're all set! This box doesn't even require batteries, phantom power, or a wall wart! This is an excellent product!

I have owned and recorded with this box for 2 months now using it for DI bass and guitar, as well as guitar amp applicatoins and it is absolutely quiet. The filter is also somewhat effective on 60 cycle hum present in single-coil pickups. "Features" only got a 9 because it would be nice to also have an unbalanced 1/4" jack on the output end. Other than that this product is an excellent value for the cash.

I spent many hours comparing the specs and features between many of the different 'direct boxes' available. (E.g., the Rolls' freq. resp is 50hz-15KHz. This is 20-20+k! This has the best of all! And the price clinches the deal! I velcro'ed 2 to the underside of my keyboard, another 2 are the exits from my guitar's FX chain, you get the idea.
