Description

The dbx db10 is a rugged and high-performing passive direct box designed for pristine signal conversion in live and studio environments. Engineered with custom mu-metal-shielded transformers and Neutrik connectors, it ensures clean, noise-free transmission while preserving the true tonal character of your instrument or signal source.

Ideal for instruments, line-level, and even speaker-level signals, the db10 includes a 3-way pad switch (0/20/40 dB) to handle varying input levels. Additional controls like a polarity invert switch, ground lift, and high-cut filter give you greater flexibility in managing sound clarity and hum suppression. Housed in a stackable, heavy-duty metal chassis with premium chrome switches, the db10 is a reliable, interference-resistant solution for professional audio setups.
