Hughes and Kettner Red Box Classic Passive Direct BoxThe Hughes and Kettner Red Box Classic is a world-famous guitar direct box - you'll never have to mic a guitar speaker again!
The Red Box converts your amp's Line Out or Speaker Out(!!) signal into a balanced, frequency-compensated signal that you can feed direcrly into a mixer. The Red Box Classic features two voicing options, a 4x12-inch cabinet and a 2x12-inch combo.
The Red Box Classic may be powered by Phantom Power, or a standard power adaptor like the Boss PSA120, a 9 volt battery, or anything from 9-15V AC or 9-24V DC.
