MDB Series, Passive Stereo Direct Box with dual 1/4” High-Impedance Inputs with Thru Outputs, 15db pads, and Dual Low-Impedance XLR Outputs with Ground Lift (MDB-2P)

Quality is really good. All connections work well and the sound is good. Great value.

Excellent unit, has a db pad on both channels as well as a ground lift. Costs less than half as my Radial stereo di box

Crystal clear sound quality, very low noise for my studio inputs. I was getting noise when recording my Yamaha digital stage piano through my older ART DI box - it has seen a lot of use and its fair share of drops over 10+ years of service. After the cables tested clear, I replaced my DI with this Mackie MDB-2P Stereo Passive Direct Box, and the noise was instantly gone! I only wish I had bought it sooner. This is much heavier and feels much sturdier than the ART DI box. While it is a bit more expensive than the ART unit, this is definitely a significant upgrade, competitive with Whirlwind in its performance at half the price. I appreciate the two separate channels in one compact box; each with a passthrough for a secondary send and an independent 15db pad switch. The machine feels very sturdy, and the switches are easy to use with a firm and responsive tactile click. I'm using it for my lesson and recording studio, and while I'm glad it has the bumpers to protect the faces with switches, I would be very careful about tossing it in a bag for travel where those switches could get banged around. If you're a road warrior and don't like securing your cargo, you'd probably be better off with a more streamlined box. But for the studio or for the careful packer, this is a great value option that sounds, feels, and looks thoroughly professional.

I work for a local vintage theater that is being remodeled and one of the issues was a ground loop problem when connecting multiple audio mixers across multiple circuits. This stereo passive box worked great, just be aware that you will lose a little amplification as it drops the signal to line level.

Bueno

I have a very elaborate modular synth set up that goes through a Pioneer DJM V10 which unfortunately only has unbalanced RCA inputs. I route the master to a Motu M4 audio interface with Mogami XLRs but there was so much noise due to the unbalanced RCAs. For the price point, you really can’t beat it (especially compared to JDIs). Highly recommend!!!! Totally cleaned up the noise!

I purchased this item to use with my Nord keyboard, which has stereo 1/4 inch outputs, to feed our board which has the typical XLR connections. Prior, I had two single channel boxes. This makes one less item to carry to gigs, which helps a lot. Solid construction with protection for the switches so they don't get bumped in use. Also appreciate the rubber strips on the bottom so it doesn't slide around on the floor or wherever it is placed. Sound quality is fine, with no detectable hum when ground lifted. Very happy with this purchase so far!

Works great. Solid build. A little bit of signal reduction. No issues.

Excellente DI stéréo! Que dire de plus, c'est solide, aucun problème audio, simple d'utilisation et relativement bon marché. C'est vraiment nickel. Je pense en commander une autre bientôt.

Funktioniert bestens und spielt klanglich voll auf Augenhöhe zum wohl beliebtesten Wettbewerber. Aus meiner Sicht ist das Pad mit 15 statt 30 dB für Line-Quellen praxisnäher gewählt, ich schließe aber auch keine Endstufen an. Sehr zu empfehlen.

La uso con mi Boss Ir-2 y suena muy bien. Muy recomendable. 👌

Elimina ruidos, clips, calidad de sonido alta y fiable. Lo uso para teclado. Recomendable, al mismo nivel que otras marcas de más precio.
