## Summary description

The DBX dB10 is a passive direct box designed to convert unbalanced instrument or line-level signals to balanced microphone-level outputs for connection to mixing consoles and PA systems. It offers a simple, reliable passive design without power requirements, ground lift to reduce hum, and rugged construction for stage and studio use. Ideal for guitars, keyboards and line sources.

## Long description

The DBX dB10 is a passive Direct Box designed to convert unbalanced instrument- or line-level signals into balanced microphone-level outputs suitable for mixing consoles and PA systems. With a passive, transformer-based design that requires no external power, the unit provides a straightforward signal path, a ground lift switch to reduce hum from ground loops, and durable metal construction for reliable use in both stage and studio environments. The DBX dB10 supports sources such as electric and acoustic guitars, basses, keyboards, and other line-level devices that need balanced connection and isolation.
Advantages
The passive design eliminates the need for batteries or phantom power while providing galvanic isolation that reduces noise and interference. The ground lift switch helps resolve hum caused by grounding mismatches without altering the core signal. Rugged metal housing and standard input/output connectors offer dependable mechanical and electrical performance for live and studio workflows. The unit's simple layout ensures predictable behavior and minimal signal coloration.
Suitable for
 Electric and acoustic guitars and basses
 Keyboards, synthesizers and electronic instruments
 Line-level devices such as drum machines, samplers and playback sources
 Live sound reinforcement and FOH console connections
 Recording and studio tracking where balanced mic-level inputs are required
Key specifications
 Passive transformer-based DI design (no power required)
 Unbalanced input to balanced XLR output
 Ground lift switch to interrupt pin-1 ground connection and reduce hum
 Instrument and line-level compatible input impedance
 Durable metal chassis suitable for stage use
How to use
Connect the unbalanced output of your instrument or line device to the DBX dB10 input using a standard instrument or TS cable. Run an XLR cable from the DBX dB10 balanced output to the microphone input of a mixer, preamp, or PA system. If you encounter hum or ground loop noise, engage the ground lift switch to isolate the chassis ground from the output pin. The passive transformer handles level and impedance matching; adjust gain at the mixer or preamp as needed to achieve the desired signal level.
Usage recommendations
For optimal results, place the DBX dB10 close to the instrument source to minimize unbalanced cable runs. Use the ground lift only when necessary to eliminate hum; when possible, troubleshoot grounding at the system level first. Check input impedance compatibility with active pickups or line-level outputs to ensure proper frequency response and level matching.
