    What is a direct box?

    Direct boxes are often referred to as DI boxes. This stands for Direct Injection as their main purpose is to convert unbalanced and/or high impedance instrument signals into a format suitable for direct connection to a mixing console - without the use of a microphone. In 1981, Whirlwind developed and produced the first commercially available Direct Box in the audio industry.
