Cordial's CES 01 passive direct box offers an excellent compromise between high sound quality and acquisition cost. For example, it allows you to connect a line or speaker level output to a balanced microphone level input on a mixer. It is equipped with a ground switch and a 0/-30 dB pad for increased versatility. Due to its passive design, it does not require any phantom power or batteries to operate. The armored steel case and its non-slip base ensure great strength and stability. The transformer and connectors fitted to the DI are designed by REAN, a subsidiary of Neutrik, guaranteeing exceptional durability to this direct box.
