Keep your signal clean and consistent
Getting a clean signal into your mixing desk is essential, particularly when working with different instruments and audio sources. The DI10A uses a custom-built MIDAS transformer to maintain signal integrity while providing electrical isolation between connected equipment. Its ultra-low-noise circuitry keeps unwanted background noise to a minimum, with a specified noise level below -112 dBu. Meanwhile, the high-headroom design accommodates stronger signals without compromising clarity. With a frequency response of 10 Hz to 90 kHz (±3 dB), the DI10A handles a broad range of audio frequencies, making it useful for live performances, recording, and multimedia applications.
Connect different sources with ease
Different instruments and audio devices produce different signal levels, so having the right input attenuation makes connecting your equipment much easier. The DI10A features a three-position pad switch offering 0, -20, and -40 dB attenuation, allowing you to work with guitar, line, and speaker-level sources. It also matches signal level and impedance without placing unnecessary load on the connected source. With XLR and 1/4-inch jack inputs, a 1/4-inch thru connection, and a balanced Neutrik XLR output, you have flexible options for integrating the DI box into your existing setup.
Reduce hum and maintain reliable power
Ground loop hum can be frustrating when you're connecting several pieces of audio equipment. Thankfully, the DI10A includes an Earth Lift switch to help eliminate this unwanted noise. Its fully transformer-isolated design also provides electrical separation between the input and output connections. For power, you can use phantom power supplied by your mixing console or an optional internal 9V battery (sold separately). If phantom power fails, the DI10A automatically switches to battery operation, provided a battery is installed. This gives you an additional layer of reassurance when you're working with live audio.
Built to handle regular use
Whether you're setting up for a performance or organising your studio equipment, a compact DI box is easy to accommodate. The DI10A measures just 64 x 118 x 120 mm and weighs 0.56 kg, making it straightforward to transport and position alongside your other gear. Its aluminium extrusion casing provides a sturdy outer shell, while protective rubber corners help shield the unit during regular handling. Designed and engineered in the UK, the DI10A combines practical connections, accessible controls, and a rugged construction suited to repeated use in live sound and multimedia setups.
