The No-frills Direct Box!
When what you need is an affordable direct box, there's no reason to go hunting for sweet deals all over the Net. That's because ART offers the Xdirect at a ridiculously low price... all the time. This compact warrior is a single-channel direct box. It has a single 1/4" or XLR input with an XLR output. Easy enough, right? Power it via phantom power or via a battery, both work. And for good measure, you've got an attenuator, a lowpass filter (to kill potential radio-frequency interference), a ground lift button, and a phase invert button. Those are the goods. A "does the job" direct box, at a nice price: the ART Xdirect.
