Klark Teknik DI 10A Active Direct Box


Description
The Klark Teknik DI 10A active direct box brings your instruments to life, delivering unmatched sonic detail to mixers, interfaces and recording gear. With the renowned Midas transformer, the DI 10A accurately reproduces the true character of electric guitars, keyboards and more. Its specially designed input circuit provides extended dynamic range, capturing every nuance for professional-grade recordings. The DI 10A direct box features switchable pad attenuators to easily accommodate instrument, line and speaker level signals up to +6dBv, preventing overload distortion.
Faithfully Reproduce Instrument Tone and Dynamics
The Klark Teknik DI 10A direct box is equipped with the exceptional Midas transformer, allowing you to capture the full dynamic range and tonal nuance of any instrument. The DI 10A accurately conveys the unique tone of your guitar, bass, keyboard and other instruments, from rich lows to sparkling highs. Its ultra-low noise input circuitry provides an impressive 112dB of dynamic range, preserving every detail for studio-quality recordings.
Handle Any Signal Level With Switchable Pads
With its switchable -20dB and -40dB pads, the DI 10A easily accommodates instrument, line and speaker level signals up to +6dBv without overload distortion. The -20dB pad setting is ideal for active instruments like keyboards, while the -40dB pad handles speaker outputs from guitar amps. The DI 10A direct box gives you the flexibility to connect any signal source and achieve optimal level matching to your mixer or interface.
Reliable Performance With Phantom Power and Battery Backup
The DI 10A direct box is designed for consistent performance on stage and in the studio. It is powered by 48V phantom power from your mixer or interface, with an internal 9V battery that engages if phantom power fails. The ground lift switch also eliminates hum and noise by isolating the ground connection. With exceptional headroom, low noise and robust construction, the DI 10A delivers night after night.
Plug and Play Connectivity for Seamless Integration
With its XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs, the DI 10A integrates seamlessly into your live or studio rig. Just plug your instrument into the 1/4" input, connect the XLR output to your mixer, interface or recording device, and you're ready to go. The thru output even lets you send your instrument signal to an amp while capturing the D.I. feed. Compact and robust, the DI 10A is ideal for touring musicians, project studios or any application requiring accurate tone and flexible connectivity.

Bought two of these for a singer songwriter showcase to replace a couple older passive DI's and was blown away with their sound. Ran them through a Midas DL32 to a Midas M32 console. YouTube video of them in action at: Oklahoma Music Shop: Horton Records Teaser
