Unique among ART DI boxes, XDirect models have both 1\/4 inch TRS and XLR inputs: on the DualXDirect they are combo jacks. Front panel switches engage 30 dB of attenuation for high-level signals and a ground lift to reduce hum. The active circuitry runs on phantom power or for over 100 hours on a new 9 V battery. Simple and durable, the DualXDirect is a compact DI in a rugged aluminium enclosure with two independent channels and a streamlined feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003e1\/4 inch TRS \/ XLR combo inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e2 channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eAttenuation per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e-30 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eOn a 9 V battery, or phantom power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e100+ hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eAluminium enclosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e380 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 independent channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 inch TRS \/ XLR combo inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e, 470 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 inch Thru connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced XLR outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u0026lt; 600 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable 30 dB attenuation and ground lift\u003c\/strong\u003e per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowered by 9 V battery (100+ hours) or phantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eClean active circuitry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe high impedance 1\/4 inch and XLR inputs are buffered and converted by very low noise active electronics into an isolated, balanced, low impedance signal output. With an extremely flat and wide frequency response (10 Hz - 100 kHz) and the ability to handle high signal levels, ART describes the sound as very clean and neutral with a wide variety of sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments. Channel separation is better than 80 dB (typical).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003ePhantom power or battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eIf phantom power is available, the DualXDirect draws its power automatically from the XLR outputs. Without phantom power, a 9 V battery runs it at less than 7.5 mA (alkaline recommended): push the Power switch in, and switch it off after use to maximise battery life. The Power switch lights more dimly on battery power, more brightly on phantom power and is off when the unit is inactive; a green LED shows power from Output 1 and a red LED power from Output 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eART names live sound, permanent \/ fixed installations, DJ use and virtually any PA application.
