Hosa DIB 443 Sidekick passive Direct Box - CLEARANCE:
The DIB‑443 Sidekick is a single-channel passive direct box that converts unbalanced, instrument‑level outputs (guitar, bass, keyboard, pedals) into balanced mic‑level signals via its 1/4″ TS input to XLR output.
It features an internal isolation transformer, ensuring a clean, noise-free tone — ideal for long cable runs, DSP, or direct-to-console recording
Features:
- Passively powered: no battery or phantom power required .
- Inst/Spkr switch: lets you toggle between instrument-level or speaker-level inputs, so you can send your amp’s speaker output through the DI while retaining tone
- Ground-lift switch: helps eliminate hum or ground-loops by isolating the signal ground
- Ultra-compact, aluminum/steel housing: rugged, road-ready build
- Extra pass-thru: some retailers list a 1/4″ TRS “thru” output, useful for linking or monitoring
