{"product_id":"samson-md1-pro","title":"Samson MD1 Pro Mono Passive Direct Box","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSamson MD1 Pro Mono Passive Direct Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamson MD1 Pro is a single-channel passive direct box that converts an unbalanced instrument, line-level, or correctly attenuated speaker-level signal to a balanced low-impedance output. It provides a direct connection from a guitar, bass, keyboard, or other source to a microphone input on a mixing console or audio interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1\/4-inch TS Input accepts the source, while a parallel Thru jack can feed the same signal to a stage amplifier or monitor. The balanced XLR output is intended for the longer cable route to the console, where a low-impedance balanced connection is less susceptible to interference than an unbalanced line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn STLX transformer with Faraday and Mu-Metal shielding provides galvanic isolation. Ground Lift disconnects XLR pin 1 when a ground loop introduces hum. The three-position pad selects 0, -15, or -30 dB, allowing the input to accommodate instrument, line, and higher-level amplifier signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA speaker output may be connected only after the pad has been set to -30 dB. Samson specifies an input capability of up to 40 V in this mode, and the amplifier, loudspeaker, and DI wiring instructions must be followed. The passive MD1 Pro does not boost the signal and requires no battery or phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOne passive channel for instrument, line-level, or attenuated speaker-level sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eParallel Thru output keeps a stage amplifier or monitor connected to the original source.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eShielded STLX transformer helps reject hum and radio-frequency interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e0, -15, and -30 dB pad settings match the input to different signal levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eA 14-gauge steel enclosure protects the connectors and internal components.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e mono passive direct box\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 Hz to 40 kHz, ±0.1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum input:\u003c\/strong\u003e +20 dBu at 0.35% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range:\u003c\/strong\u003e greater than 100 dB at the balanced output\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoise floor:\u003c\/strong\u003e -117 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal harmonic distortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e less than 0.03% from 20 Hz to 40 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 Ω, ±20%\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransformer ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15:1\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 dB\/-15 dB\/-30 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4-inch TS Input and Thru, balanced 3-pin XLR output\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-gauge steel chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 127 × 86 × 49.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 667 g\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSamson MD1 Pro mono passive direct box\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MD1 Pro is designed for musicians, studios, and live sound technicians who need one passive channel for a guitar, bass, keyboard, or line-level source.
