Description

Chord DI-A1 — Convert and Balance Your Instrument Signal

The Chord DI-A1 is a robust active direct injection box, engineered to provide crystal-clear conversion of high impedance instrument or line-level signals into low impedance balanced outputs. Essential for maintaining signal integrity over long cable runs, this DI box is powered by either +48V phantom power or a 9V battery, offering versatile power options for any setup.

Superior Signal Integrity and Versatile Controls

Unlike passive DI boxes, the DI-A1's active circuitry ensures no signal loss or degradation, preserving the full dynamics and frequency response of your instrument. It features a 6.3mm unbalanced input, along with balanced XLR and a 6.3mm link/thru output for flexible routing to a mixer and amplifier simultaneously. Selectable -20dB and -40dB pad settings accommodate a wide range of input levels, preventing overload. The switchable ground lift eliminates troublesome hum and ground loop noise, guaranteeing a pristine audio signal.

Built for the Road, Ready for Any Performance

Housed in a sturdy metal chassis, the Chord DI-A1 is designed to withstand the demands of live performance, studio work, and frequent transport. Its robust build quality ensures reliability gig after gig. Compact yet packed with professional features, this active DI box is an indispensable tool for guitarists, bassists, keyboard players, and sound engineers seeking uncompromising audio quality and flexible connectivity.
