ART DualXDirect Professional Active Direct Box
SKU: XDIRECT
The DUALXDirect provides two independent high quality active interfaces that let you connect instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced inputs. Each of the high impedance 1/4″ and XLR inputs (provided via “combo” jacks) are buffered and converted by very low noise active electronics into an isolated, balanced, low impedance signal output. The DUALXDirect has an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels. This gives the DUALXDirect a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments.
The input ATTENUATOR switches allow for a wide range of signal levels and the input THRU jacks allow for tapping off of your signal chain. The GROUND LIFT switches let you totally separate the input and output signal grounds, when appropriate, to isolate two systems, thereby reducing hum and ground-loop noise.
The DUALXDirect”s active circuitry is powered by phantom voltage from the OUTPUT connections or by an internal 9V battery, when external power is not available. When powered by a battery, it draws less than 7.5 mA which should provide more than 100 hours of operation with a new battery (alkaline recommended). If phantom power is available, then the DUALXDirect will automatically draw its power from the external source. The POWER ON/OFF switch lights more dimly when the unit is running off of the battery, lights more brightly when it is running off of phantom power, and is off when the unit is inactive.
The compact black-anodized all aluminum case and it’s active design allow the DUALXDirect to provide years of trouble free service in Live Sound, Permanent/Fixed Install, D.J., and virtually any PA application. It’s full feature set, rugged construction, and high-end specifications make the DUALXDirect the obvious choice.

Other
We are an actual, physical, brick and mortar music store. We do have a warehouse that we ship from but generally speaking, when you buy from us online is just like coming into our store and selecting your instrument off the rack. Before we ship any instrument we thoroughly inspect, setup, photograph and pack the item (sometimes in its original box - sometimes not as per our environmental policy). If your product shows any signs of having been used, we will contact you before shipping. Occasionally if we notice a scuff or scratch on an instrument, the price will be marked down as a result. Descriptions of the flaws aren't always in the product descriptions so if you have any questions feel free to ask us via chat on our website, email or phone.
Special orders, Used/Clearance/B-Stock/Sale items, opened/unsealed new vinyl records, books, instrument strings, microphones, headphones, USB Audio Interfaces, drumsticks, instrument polishes, reeds, brass and woodwind instruments & other similar products are non-returnable. (If a return of one of these items is approved by management, a restocking fee will apply)
* Credit Card Payment Processing Companies/Banks charge a variety of network & processing fees on every credit card purchase. They no longer refund these fees when a refund is processed so we have to pay it even if we refund an order. We are no longer able to absorb these charges and have had to pass this fee to customers when an order is refunded on purchases made in-store or online with a credit card. These Credit Card Processing Fees do not apply for refunds on purchases made with cash or debit.
PayPal and Affirm financing refunds are subject to a 5% Online Purchase Processing Fee. Processing Fees are waived when a refund is loaded onto a Faders eGift Card.
This policy applies to accidental & cancelled online orders as well.
** Restocking Fee of up to 15% may apply if the product or packaging has any damage or is missing items.
When we receive a return, we inspect and test the item out to make sure it is able to be resold. As long as the item itself is still in new condition and all the original packaging is intact and in new condition there will be no restocking fee.
*** Non-refundable shipping charges - the total cost of shipping (both ways) is non-refundable. The total actual shipping charges to & from your location will be withheld from any refunds.
