Samson's MD1 Mono Passive Direct Box combines premium
sound circuitry with durable, roadworthy construction, providing high-quality
signal connection solutions for a variety of live sound and recording
applications. The MD1 allows clean, balanced lines to be sent from an
unbalanced line or instrument signal to a microphone level balanced input.
Custom STL Transformer
The MD1 features Samson's STL transformer that delivers
an extended, flat frequency response with ultra-low distortion. The MD1's
balanced output provides a clean signal that is less susceptible to noise than
an unbalanced line, allowing for longer cable runs.
Thru Jack
The MD1's Thru jack enables you to tap off the signal
from the input and pass the signal to an amplifier or monitor without affecting
the original audio. This can eliminate the need for miking guitar amplifiers,
which depending on your application may be preferable, especially as more
musicians are using in-ear monitors.
Roadworthy Construction
Housed in a 14-guage noise-reducing steel chassis, the
MD1 is built to withstand the abuse of the most demanding live tours. Its rigid
outer shell protects all the MD1's internal connections, switches and solder
joints from failure, ensuring quiet, reliable performance.
