Mackie MDB 2P Passive Direct Box Stereo

The Mackie MDB-2P is a stereo passive direct box designed to connect two mono instruments or a single stereo instrument to microphone preamps for musicians and audio engineers in recording sessions, houses of worship, and live stage applications. It converts high-impedance, instrument-level signal via its dual 1/4″ TS unbalanced inputs to low-impedance, mic-level outputs via balanced XLR 3-pin jacks. Two 1/4″ TS thru jacks allow simultaneous connection to amplifiers or pedalboards.

MDB Series direct boxes are built to last with a thick steel chassis, impact resistant corners, and long-wearing jacks will keep these in your bag for years to come.

MDB Series direct boxes offer excellent noise performance and transparency. Whether you are in the studio or performing on stage, your instruments will always sound as good as they do at the source.
