Reliable Signal Conversion For Stage And Studio – Mackie MDB-1P Passive DI Box

The Mackie MDB-1P Passive DI Box delivers clean, reliable signal conversion for instruments, laptops, and other unbalanced sources. Designed for professional live and studio environments, it ensures your sound remains clear and consistent from the stage to the mixing console.

With a high-impedance 1/4" input and a parallel Thru output, the MDB-1P makes it simple to connect your instrument to both an amplifier and a PA system simultaneously. Its passive design, featuring a high-quality transformer, eliminates the need for external power while providing excellent isolation and noise rejection.

Practical Features For Everyday Use

The MDB-1P includes a -15dB pad for distortion-free performance with hot signals from active instruments or line-level sources. A ground lift switch helps eliminate unwanted hum and buzz caused by ground loops, ensuring a clean audio signal in any environment. Its robust all-metal chassis ensures long-lasting durability, ready to withstand the demands of touring and stage work.
