Mackie MDB-1P Passive Direct Box
The MDB-1P converts an unbalanced, high-impedance signal, guitar, acoustic pickup, or laptop line out, into a balanced, low-impedance output for a mixing console or interface, with no external power required.
A high-impedance 1/4-inch input with a thru pass-through feeds a balanced XLR output with ground lift and a -15dB pad for hot sources, in the same Built-Like-A-Tank housing as the rest of the MDB line.
