Ld Systems LDDIO22 Audio Amplifier

LD Systems DIO 2 - 2-Channel Active DI Box / Splitter

Achieve Pristine, Professional Audio Quality from Any Source

Elevate your sound with the LD Systems DIO 2, the ultimate solution for connecting your audio equipment with flawless signal integrity. Designed for musicians, sound engineers, and AV professionals, this versatile 2-channel active DI box is the essential link between unbalanced, high-impedance sources and professional balanced inputs. Whether you´re on stage, in the studio, or setting up for a presentation, the DIO 2 ensures your audio is delivered cleanly, clearly, and free from unwanted noise and interference. It´s the perfect tool for converting and amplifying the signal from keyboards, acoustic guitars, laptops, smartphones, and other consumer audio devices for connection to a mixing console or audio interface.

Key Benefits:

* Crystal-Clear Signal Conversion: Seamlessly convert unbalanced audio signals from sources like instruments or media players into balanced, low-impedance signals. This crucial process preserves your audio quality over long cable runs, delivering a strong, professional-grade sound to the main mixer without degradation.

* Eliminate Hum and Noise: Say goodbye to distracting ground loop hum. Each channel on the DIO 2 is equipped with an individual ground lift switch, allowing you to instantly isolate and eliminate noise for a pure, interference-free audio experience in any environment.

* Universal Connectivity: The DIO 2 is built for flexibility. It features two channels, each with a 6.35mm jack input and a link output, plus a dedicated stereo 3.5mm jack input. This makes it incredibly easy to connect a wide array of devices, from electric guitars and basses to laptops and mobile phones, making it an indispensable tool for any audio setup.

* Total Signal Control: Manage hot signals with ease. A switchable -20 dB pre-attenuation pad on each channel allows you to tame high-output sources, preventing clipping and distortion at the mixer´s input and ensuring a clean gain structure.

* Stereo and Mono Versatility: A dedicated mono/stereo switch lets you sum both channels into a single mono output, perfect for simplifying connections or when working with mono sources. Use it in stereo for keyboards and media players or as two independent mono channels for multiple instruments.
