Passive Direct Box in Sidney, British Columbia for sale

Yorkville Passive Direct Box YDI-1P Quality microphones have a three-pin output jack which is referred to as an XLR connector. Most electric guitars of today have a two-conductor unbalanced 1/4" output jack. The XLR microphone input jack is low-impedance while the output signal from an electric guitar is high-impedance. If you connect the guitar directly using some kind of homemade connection, the mixer-input would put a load on the guitar-output that would effect the tone quality for the worse. A direct box is used to convert the output of an electric guitar, bass, or keyboard into a signal that can be plugged into a balanced low-impedance microphone input. A transformer inside the passive direct box is used to correctly change the impedance and provide the balanced output. The Yorkville passive direct boxes are designed so that the transformer correctly matches your instrument output to the mixing console input which allows your tone to have the brilliance that you desire.
