Product details

Passive direct box: Counteracts line noise, eliminates ground loops, and produces clean, noise-free sounds. Direct connection of electronic musical instruments to the mixing console with INST/LINE switch and ground-lift switch. Input: 6.35mm jack. Outputs: 6.35mm jack, XLR3M.

The Hosa DIB-443 Sidekick is a passive direct box that can be used to connect electronic musical instruments such as guitar, bass, or keyboard directly to a mixing console. An isolating transformer converts a signal at instrument level into a signal at line level. The compact box can also be used with pedal effects or effect processors. The Sidekick can produce a pure and clean sound without noise, making it ideal for digital signal processing (DSP). When the INST/LINE switch is set to LINE, a naturally overdriven sound is heard through the amplifier.

Can be used with: Electric guitars, basses, and keyboards; pedal effects and effects processors; other electronic musical instruments with a mono jack output. Included in delivery: Hosa Sidekick passive direct box.
