KLARK TEKNIK DN100 Direct DI Box PAIR

The new KLARK TEKNIK DN100 Direct Injection Box is the natural successor to the long-established LBB100.

A ground-up redesign provides an extended dynamic range, lower noise floor and all the world-class audio performance youﾒd expect from KLARK TEKNIK. DN100 is also designed to handle the rigours of life on the road: a thick aluminium shell protects the electronics, and this in turn is protected by a tough silicone rubber casing, which is replaceable and available as a spare part.

The DN100 has a Kensington security slot in one of the end panels to allow the unit to be made secure using a Kensington MicroSaver security cable.

* The DN100 has been designed to allow use at phantom voltages less than +48V. The unit will function down to +20V (when used with 6k8 dropping resistors) but with reduced headroom and dynamic range. All the specifications above are quoted using standard +48V Phantom power.
