Its passive circuit needs neither a battery nor phantom power, making it straightforward to deploy at events, installations, and recording sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input panel accepts a pair of 1\/4-inch TS sources, left and right RCA connections, or a single 1\/8-inch stereo mini jack. Two balanced XLR outputs feed microphone inputs on a console, stage box, or audio interface. A Stereo\/Mono switch can preserve separate left and right channels or sum the source when the receiving system is mono.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Samson STLX transformers use Mu-Metal shielding to isolate the source and protect the audio path from hum and radio-frequency interference. The Ground Lift switch disconnects XLR pin 1 when a ground loop causes noise, while the 0 dB\/-12 dB pad creates headroom for hotter line-level signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 14-gauge steel chassis protects the connectors, switches, and transformers in mobile use. The MCD2 Pro does not provide Thru outputs. If the source must also feed a local monitor or headphone system, that split needs to be made before the DI box or handled by separate routing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo passive channels convert unbalanced stereo audio to a pair of balanced XLR signals.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch TS, RCA, and 1\/8-inch stereo inputs accommodate professional and consumer media sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSelectable Stereo\/Mono operation keeps the channels separate or sums them for a mono system.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eA 0 dB\/-12 dB pad helps manage hotter line-level outputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMu-Metal-shielded transformers and Ground Lift support low-noise connections over long cable runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e two-channel passive media direct box\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 Hz to 40 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 1\/4-inch TS, 2 × RCA, 1 × 1\/8-inch stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × balanced 3-pin XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 dB\/-12 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e stereo or summed mono\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × Samson STLX with Mu-Metal shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e none\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-gauge steel\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 155 × 100 × 45 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 957 g\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSamson MCD2 Pro stereo passive media DI box\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MCD2 Pro is aimed at event technicians, DJs, theatres, schools, conference systems, and installed audio users who need to deliver a computer or media source to a professional mixer over balanced XLR cables.
