{"product_id":"klotz-dx10-285250","title":"DX10","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn Essential Passive DI in a Modern Audio Chain\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eIn a stage or studio setup, the direct box is a central tool to ensure reliable connections between instruments and sound systems. The DX10 fits this logic with a simple and robust approach: a passive DI designed to work immediately without power constraints. This \"plug and play\" philosophy is especially appreciated on stages, during rehearsals and performances, where quick setup and consistent signal quality are paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eIts design also emphasizes quality of transformation and isolation, thanks to a hand-wired transformer protected by permalloy shielding, which helps reduce sensitivity to interference and maintain a usable signal over long cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the DX10 for and when to use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThe DX10 is intended for musicians, technicians, and content creators who need to send an unbalanced instrument or line-level signal to a mic or line input of a console, stage snake, or interface, while reducing the risk of hum and unwanted noise. It is particularly suitable for setups where cables must cover long distances or where the electrical environment is busy (lighting, power strips, backline power supplies, computers).\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eIt is ideal for sources such as a guitar or bass via an appropriate output, keyboards and expanders, or certain audio outputs of equipment with unbalanced signals. By converting to a balanced XLR output, the DX10 facilitates integration into a standard sound reinforcement chain and allows for smoother processing at the console.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eOperation and Advantages: Balancing, Impedance Matching, and Attenuation\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003ch4\u003eWhy balance a signal?\u003c\/h4\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eA DI primarily serves to convert a high-impedance unbalanced signal into a low-impedance balanced signal. Practically, this helps carry the signal over longer distances with less susceptibility to interference, and sends it cleanly to a mixing console for equalization, dynamics, and routing.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003ePassive DI: simplicity, reliability, efficiency\u003c\/h4\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eUnlike an active model, a passive DI like the DX10 requires no power supply. This choice is relevant when you want a reliable, ready-to-use box that is easy to deploy on stage. The transformer plays a key role here: it ensures the conversion and contributes to isolation, with permalloy shielding designed to improve protection against RF interference.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003eLevel handling: coping with strong sources\u003c\/h4\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThe DX10 specifies different maximum input levels depending on the attenuation setting. This allows adapting the DI to various sources, from moderate signals to higher levels, while maintaining a usable output to the console. This margin is especially useful when switching between instruments, line outputs, or equipment with higher output levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRackable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eaudio converter\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBox\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eall-metal (stainless steel)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e103 x 75 x 49 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e500 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnbalanced input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e6.35 mm Jack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnbalanced output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e6.35 mm Jack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e3-pin male XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax input level, attenuation OFF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e+10 dBu (2.5 V) \/ 20 k ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax input level, attenuation 20 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e+30 dBu (25 V) \/ 40 k ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax output level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e-10 dBu (250 mV) \/ 200 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e10 Hz to 30 kHz (+\/-0.3 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion factor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eless than 0.1%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Klotz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358922789139,"sku":"285250","price":166.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/e1e66a72581851ac59c968c5907f75e360b4a845_KLOTZ_DX10.jpg?v=1787353602","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/klotz-dx10-285250","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
