DB10 / DB12: A New Generation of Direct Boxes from dbx
Breaking away from the traditional design of this type of equipment, the DB series (DB10 and DB12) introduces a more modern approach, both externally and internally. The goal is clear: to deliver high audio performance worthy of the dbx brand while enhancing reliability in the field. The DB10 fits this logic with a protective metal construction and carefully selected components to ensure clean and consistent signal transmission.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The dbx DB10 is a passive direct box designed for anyone needing to convert a signal while preserving its character, whether on stage, in rehearsal, or in recording. It is especially suitable for musicians and technicians who switch between instruments, line sources, and more demanding situations, including "Speaker" levels when attenuation is properly set.
Thanks to its low-impedance balanced XLR output and transformer isolation architecture, it facilitates sending the signal to a mixing console, audio interface, or PA system, while helping to reduce unwanted noise and interference.

Questions frequently asked
Does the DBX DI-10 accept an amplifier speaker output?
The three-position attenuator 0 / 20 / 40 dB allows the input to accommodate high levels, including "Speaker" when the appropriate setting is selected.
What kind of connectors does this passive DI have?
The high-impedance input and the Thru output use 6.35 mm jacks. The output to the mixer or audio interface is on a low-impedance balanced XLR, with a gold-plated Neutrik XLR connector.
How to reduce hum with this direct box?
A ground lift switch helps to manage hum caused by ground loops. The transformer isolation with mu-metal shielding also helps to limit interference. The metal chassis protects the components during stage use.
Does the DI-10 feature a low-cut and polarity reversal?
A switchable high-pass filter controls resonances and excessive bass. The polarity inversion switch facilitates phase adjustment when a direct input is combined with a microphone input.
What are the dimensions and weight of the DBX DI-10?
The enclosure measures 148 x 138 x 56 mm and weighs 650 g. Its base is designed to facilitate stacking multiple units.
