The connection between artist and audience is direct, and it begins with you. Keep that connection throughout your signal chain, with the Canvas Line Isolator Direct Box. Designed to convert unbalanced ¼" inputs into balanced XLR outputs, it keeps your sound clean and consistent whether you're working with amp modelers, keyboard setups, or stereo pedalboards. With custom-wound transformers under the hood, you get low total harmonic distortion and a flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz, because your tone deserves the full bandwidth.

You can even turn this versatile little rig into a stereo box by using the Thru channel as an extra input. A simple flip of the sum switch marries the left and right channels for output through the XLR jack. A -15dB pad tames hot signals, while the DI/Line Isolator switch means you can use Canvas on high or low-impedance signals. Built to sit comfortably on your pedalboard and take road abuse, Canvas Stereo keeps your rig grounded, figuratively and literally, thanks to the ground lift.

Walrus Audio Canvas: Line Isolator/D.I. Specifications

• Flat frequency response from 20Hz-20kHz
• Converts ¼” unbalanced input to XLR balanced output.
• Transformer isolated output.
• Sum switch turns the Thru channel into a second input when engaged, allowing stereo input signals to be summed to the XLR output.
• Pad: Enables a -15dB input pad (Only in D.I. mode) for reducing hot signals in order to minimize distortion.
• D.I./L.I.: Choose between DI or LI (Out for DI, In for LI)
• GND Lift: Isolates the GND pin on XLR to help reduce hum if present. Leave out for normal operation.
• Custom wound transformers for low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and full frequency response.
• The Canvas comes in a lightly textured matte black enclosure with blue, light green, yellow, orange, red and white ink displaying your painter's palette to begin creating your sonic brush strokes.
• The die-cast enclosure’s exact size is 4.77" x 2.6" x 1.64”.
• Impedance: DI - 10k input, 600 output; LI - 600 input, 600 output
