As an active DI, the SideKick DIB-445 is perfect for environments that require longer cable runs without introducing noise and interference. Its smart design and superior components also make it a great choice for clean, hum-free recording for DAW systems.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe SideKick DIB-445 takes the unbalanced high-impedance output of an instrument — guitar, bass, keyboards and more — and converts it to a balanced low impedance signal. Operating via convenient +48V phantom power from your mixer or audio interface, the SideKick DIB-445’s streamlined design features one unbalanced ¼\" input, one balanced ¼\" thru output, and one balanced XLR output.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe SideKick DIB-445 does its job without adding or removing anything from the natural sound of the input source and offers high headroom and low harmonic distortion. Its impressive audio specifications include a near-perfect flat frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with only ±0.2 dB. Its superbly low noise specification is -95dBu, A-weighted, with THD+N at less than 0.005% at 1 kHz, giving it pristine audio quality that meets or exceeds the specs of other DI boxes at twice the price. Its sturdy all-metal housing makes it rugged enough for even the most grueling touring conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe SideKick DIB-445's features include a pad switch (with selections of 0 dB, -15 dB, and -30 dB of attenuation), a ground lift switch to eliminate AC hum caused by ground loops, and a polarity flip switch to combat phase or cancellation issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451315974247,"sku":"491440","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/hosa-sidekick-dib-445_491440_1.jpg?v=1787096754","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/hosa-active-di","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
