Designed for all musical instrument applications, using new proprietary transformer design, the DI converts between balanced and unbalanced signals at a perfect 1-to-1 ratio with audiophile quality and total transparency.

With a frequency response between 14Hz and 80kHz, this unit is essential for five string bassists, other drop tuned instruments, and artists wanting the sound of their instruments uncolored by the PA interface. The new transformer DI is now available worldwide via online and local retailers.

A transformer DI (direct-interface) box is a 100% passive impedance conversion device that converts unbalanced signals into balanced signals for direct connection to mixing consoles and recording devices. The Trace Elliot Transformer DI sets itself apart from active DI boxes by providing a pristine signal path that will never suffer clipping or distortion between the source and the balanced input. Furthermore, it outperforms other passive DI boxes by its ability to do so far beyond the range of human hearing. By balancing the signal, the transformer DI reduces noise and interference while keeping signal integrity. Its durable die cast enclosure, and high-quality parts provide steady signal performance for both live and studio environments.

With individual ¼” and XLR jacks for both, inputs and outputs, and a recessed GROUND LIFT button, this unit is an essential must have for any professional musician or audio engineer.
