***This is a display model EA DI box straight from Steve Albini's Electrical Audio, made in Chicago! Full Warranty*****

The Electrical Audio Direct Box is an exceptionally handy tool for typical DI needs as well as general bi-directional impedance conversion jobs. Transformer-based, and fitted with XLR connectors of both genders, it can interface with anything in a studio for a myriad of uses.It does the work you’d expect of a DI, converting guitar, bass, effects pedals, keyboard, phone/computer audio, all instrument and line level outputs to a low impedance, balanced signal. This signal, of course, can travel great distances without degradation when terminated to a typical mic preamp.The DI also goes the other direction, converting low impedance signals to high impedance, as is necessary when sending a microphone output to a guitar effects chain, or amplifier. In this situation, you can still have access to the unconverted microphone signal through the male XLR connector. This also gives you the unique ability to use phantom powered mics for this purpose. Another use for converting lo-Z to high-Z is for “re-amping” a recorded signal (line output to guitar amplifier).
