Both live and in the studio it's often important to get unbalanced signals into a desk or PA as cleanly as possible. What you need in that situation is a DI box (or direct inject). The S-direct plus from Samson is a quality stereo DI box that's rugged enough to withstand daily usage. It is made to be simplicity itself: It's exactly like having two Samson S-direct mono DI boxes together in the same footprint! Because it's active (many low priced DI boxes are passive) the sound is balanced more cleanly with a better signal to noise ratio so your tone is retained and the S-direct doesn't colour your sound. What's more if you're feeling a naughty... (use it for two mono signals!)
The Samson S-direct can be powered by a 9v battery or phantom power
Here's what Samson say about the S-direct DI Box
As a regular feature of a club sound system or as a durable road piece the S-Direct is the only direct box you'll ever need.
