Whirlwind CONNECT Series EDB1 Direct Box

The EDB1 is the CONNECT Series direct box, an imported economy model that keeps the metal construction and a proper transformer rather than cutting both to hit the price. It is the box to hand a support act or leave in the spares case.

A three-position pad gives 0, -20 or -40 dB of extra attenuation so it can sit in front of a hot source without distorting, and the ground lift switch handles hum and buzz. Connections are a 1/4 inch input with a through jack and an XLR output.
