Mackie MDB USB Stereo Direct Box

The Mackie MDB-USB is a USB-powered stereo DAC direct box designed to connect a stereo signal from USB to microphone preamps for DJs, producers, musicians, and audio engineers in recording sessions, clubs, houses of worship, and live stage applications. It converts a stereo digital audio feed at up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution via a USB 2.0 Type-B input to low-impedance, mic-level analog outputs via two balanced XLR 3-pin jacks. A 3.5mm headphone output is provided for easy monitoring.

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.

The MDB-USB is the ultimate way to get pristine digital audio from your laptop directly to a mixer or front-of-house in a venue.
