The tube direct box is the DI of choice for hundreds of
studios, engineers, producers, and artists the world over.
The clear, warm quality of the tube maximizes the sound
of musical instrument pickups and interfaces.The ADB3 is
atwo-channelactiveimpedancematchingdeviceutilizing
a 7025 vacuum tube. Unlike solid state active direct
boxes, the ADB3 delivers a warm, slightly compressed
signal due to the natural softening characteristics of tubes.
Each channel features two 1/4" inputs, an XLR output, a
Ground Lift switch, a 0 to - infinity Pad control, and a +20/-
20 dB input gain switch.
The ADB3 is housed in a heavy gauge steel chassis for
durability, and is easily mounted to any standard rack tray.
It is ideal for:
Bass Players,forinterfacingbetweenapreampand a
