Warm Audio WA-DI-A2 Active Stereo Direct Box
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Get your signal to a mixer or PA with its tonality fully intact. The Warm Audio WA-DI-A2 is a stereo DI with CineMag transformers for weight and musicality.
Overview
The Warm Audio Active Stereo DI is a two-channel direct box designed for stereo instruments including keyboards, synthesizers, guitar processors, and stereo pedalboards. Built with premium CineMag USA transformers, it preserves the tonal character of your instrument while delivering clean balanced signals to mixers, audio interfaces, and PA systems. A negative (3 - 30dB) pad helps dial in signal volume, and a ground/lift switch helps eliminate ground-loop noise. The Active Stereo DI provides additional headroom and selectable active circuitry per-channel for lower output instruments and stereo rigs.
- Premium Stereo DI Box:
The Warm Audio Active Stereo DI provides two channels of high-quality direct injection for stereo instruments including keyboards, synthesizers, and stereo guitar rigs. Designed for both studio and live use, the Stereo DI converts instrument-level signals into balanced outputs while maintaining the natural tone and dynamics of your source. The Active Stereo DI adds active circuitry to better match high-impedance sources to deliver consistent output levels to mixers and interfaces.
- Signal Integrity:
The transformer-based circuit maintains the tonal integrity of the source instrument while providing balanced outputs ideal for professional audio systems. The Active Stereo DI adds selectable active circuitry, powered by 48v from the line-level connections made to interfaces or mixers. The same transformer-based signal path is available on the active DI for… read more accurate signal conversion, and the active circuitry can even aid with longer cable runs.
- Studio Sound, Pro Features, Road-Ready:
Built with a durable metal chassis and premium internal components, the Active Stereo DI is designed to withstand the rigors of both studio installations and touring setups. A negative (3 - 30dB) pad helps dial in your ideal signal volume, and ground/lift switch helps eliminate ground-loop noise. The active version adds selectable 48v phantom power powered by the line-level mixer/interface connection. The active DI can also be switched to passive mode for added versatility. Stereo DI's rugged construction ensures dependable operation in any professional audio environment.
- Ideal For Stereo Instruments:
The Stereo DI is specifically designed for stereo instrument sources. The Active Stereo DI can handle dual high-impedance signals, or blend high and low impedance signals as the active circuitry can be turned off at the channel level. The dual-channel configuration ensures consistent tone and performance across both channels while simplifying stereo signal routing in live and studio environments.
- CineMag Transformer Equipped:
The Active Stereo DI features premium CineMag USA transformers that deliver exceptional clarity, rich low-end response, and smooth high-frequency detail. These transformers provide excellent isolation and noise rejection while ensuring the natural character of your instruments are preserved.
- Popular Uses:
- Connect Stereo Keys & Synths > Balanced XLR Outputs To Mixers Or Audio Interfaces
- Stereo Guitar Modelers & Amp Simulators > FOH Mixers Or Recording Interfaces
- Stereo Pedalboards & Effects Rigs > Clean Balanced Signal To PA Systems
- Electronic Drum Modules & Samplers > Noise-Free Connection To Stage Boxes Or Consoles
- Laptop Audio Interfaces & Playback Rigs > Balanced Feed To Live Sound Systems
- Converts Instruments To Mic-Level Signals Without Signal Degradation
- Ideal Solution For Plugging Your Instrument Direct Into Any Mic Pre
- Rugged Aluminum Construction
- Selectable active/passive switch to boost weaker signals
- Custom-Wound CineMag USA Output Transformer
- Top-Quality Class-A Components With Gold-Plated Traces On Circuit Board
