All channels feature a switchable ground lift to help eliminate hum, and switchable attenuation with up to 40 dB of gain reduction to handle high signal levels. As a fully passive design, the PDB4 needs no external power source; passive DIs are often a great match for powered sources such as synthesisers or guitars and basses with active preamps.\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;\"\u003eIndependent, fully isolated\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;\"\u003e4 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-40 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;\"\u003eTransformer isolated, 600 Ω\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;\"\u003e4 x XLR\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;\"\u003e19 inch steel rack chassis\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;\"\u003e1U\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\u003e4 independent channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 inch TS inputs and Thru connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e, 50 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransformer isolated balanced XLR outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e, 600 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable ground lift\u003c\/strong\u003e per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable attenuation\u003c\/strong\u003e (0 dB, -20 dB, -40 dB) per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive design\u003c\/strong\u003e: no power required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1U rackmount enclosure\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;\"\u003eFour isolated direct boxes in one rack space\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe PDB4 combines four quality, fully transformer isolated direct boxes in a 1U, 19 inch rack mount chassis. Inputs and outputs of each channel are isolated to maximise channel separation, and transformer isolation on each output helps eliminate system ground loops.
