840402015680 ZDIRECT (Art Passive Direct Box)

The Zdirect from ART is a high quality passive interface that allows for connecting instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced input through a high performance audio isolation transformer. The high impedance single-ended 1/4″ input is converted by the transformer into an isolated balanced low impedance signal source.The unit has an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels while still maintaining an isolated balanced low impedance output. This gives the Zdirect a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments.FEATURES:The input attenuator switches allow for a wide range of input signal levelsThe Input Link jack allows for tapping off of the signal chain for additional routingA ground lift switch allows for totally separating the input and output signal grounds when appropriate, to isolate two systems thereby reducing hum and ground-loop noiseSwitchable low pass filter cuts out all very high frequency interference. This Bessel filter on the input is placed out of the audio range and is primarily intended to reduce radio frequency interference before it gets into the main systemThe filter is also very effective in reducing any digital computer noise artifacts when using the Xdirect as an interface between a computer based audio workstation and speaker monitorsA phase invert switch allows the user to switch signal polarity right at the sourceThe compact black anodized all aluminum case and its flexible power design allow the DI to provide years of trouble free service in live sound, fixed install, DJ and virtually any PA applicationSPECIFICATIONS:Input Connections1 x 1/4″ TRS phoneOutput Connectors1 x XLR1 x 1/4″ TRS phone Link jackInput Level0, +24 and +44dBuOutput LevelNot specified by manufacturerControlsInput attenuation switchesGround lift switchPhase invert switchFilter switchFrequency Response10Hz to 50kHz, +/-0.5dB @ +4dBuNoiseNot specified by manufacturerPowerPassiveDimensions4 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ x 1 3/4″Weight0.75 lbsSpecialtiesSwitchable, low pass filter, -3dB @ 30kHzPackaging InfoPackage Weight0.8 lbBox Dimensions (LxWxH)13.3 x 6.7 x 2.3″
