The Whirlwind DIRECTOR is a premium, rugged passive direct box (DI). It converts unbalanced instrument, line, or speaker-level audio signals into low-impedance, balanced microphone-level signals. This allows you to run long cables to a mixing board without hum, buzz, or signal loss. 

Key Features

  • TRHL-M Transformer: Features Whirlwind’s custom transformer inside a metal shield for pristine audio quality and quiet operation.
  • 30dB Pad Switch: Drops the input signal level so you can safely connect line-level sources or even speaker-level outputs.
  • Ground Lift Switch: Disconnects the ground between the input and XLR output to eliminate unwanted hum or buzz caused by ground loops.
  • Switchable High-Cut Filter: Reduces high-frequency amplifier noise.
  • Parallel Thru Jack: Features \(\frac{1}{4}\)" parallel in/out jacks, letting you send your unaffected signal to your onstage amplifier while sending the balanced XLR to the main mixer.
  • Passive Design: Operates without the need for batteries or phantom power.
