FOX PDI-2 Direct Box——S-Track S TRACK SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD

FOX PDI-2 Direct Box

This is a professional dual-channel passive impedance converter (Direct Box) designed for live performances, recording studios, and AV system integration. Featuring dual professional-grade audio transformers, it enables seamless conversion from high-impedance unbalanced inputs to low-impedance balanced outputs. Supporting stereo signal processing, it effectively eliminates ground loop noise and EMI interference, ensuring distortion-free transmission over long cable runs (>100 meters). Built-in active attenuators and floating ground functionality facilitate matching high-output sources such as keyboards, synthesizers, and active instruments. Offering an exceptional balance of durability and audio fidelity, this unit is ideal for professional musicians and sound engineers.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Product Features

  • Dual-channel passive design: Independent processing for two channels, supporting stereo input to balanced XLR output. No power supply required; plug-and-play operation;
  • Dual professional-grade transformers: Built-in dual high-quality 10:1 audio transformers deliver flat frequency response and low distortion, ensuring natural sound reproduction;
  • Noise Isolation: >60 dB ground loop suppression eliminates hum and RF interference, enabling long cable runs without signal attenuation;
  • Flexible Control: Each channel features an attenuator and ground lift switch for on-site adjustments;
  • Multi-Input Compatibility: 1/4″ TS high-impedance input supports instruments, keyboards, and consumer devices; optional RCA/3.5mm input available;
  • Rugged Construction: Heavy-duty steel chassis with internal beam frame provides shock resistance and durability for touring environments;
  • Compact Portability: Metal enclosure facilitates easy transport for stage, studio, and installation systems.
