It can connect a stereo keyboard, electronic drum kit, two guitars, or other sources to a mixing console, audio interface, or stage box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach channel provides a 1\/4-inch TS Input, a parallel Thru output, and its own three-position 0, -10, or -20 dB pad. The Thru jacks keep stage amplifiers or monitors connected to the original signals. A Stereo\/Mono switch either preserves discrete left and right paths or sends the sum of both inputs to both XLR outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Samson STLX transformers use Faraday and Mu-Metal shielding to protect the signal paths from hum and radio-frequency interference. Each XLR output has an independent Ground Lift switch, allowing ground-loop problems to be addressed one channel at a time. The passive circuit requires no battery or phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MD2 Pro is housed in a 14-gauge steel chassis. Its inputs cover instrument and line-level sources, while the pads provide headroom for higher-level signals. When connecting an amplifier output, the correct attenuation must be selected before making the connection and the manufacturer’s wiring instructions must be followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo passive DI channels can operate as a stereo pair or accept independent sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDual Thru outputs keep stage amplifiers or monitors connected to the original signals.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStereo\/Mono switching can sum both inputs and route the result to both XLR outputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIndependent 0, -10, and -20 dB pads match each channel to its source level.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo shielded STLX transformers and separate Ground Lift switches support low-noise signal routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e stereo 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 in Stereo, greater than 10 kΩ in Mono\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 Ω, ±20%\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × STLX, 15:1 ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput pads:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 0 dB\/-10 dB\/-20 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 1\/4-inch TS Input, 2 × Thru, 2 × balanced 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 155 × 100 × 49 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 946 g\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSamson MD2 Pro stereo passive direct box\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MD2 Pro is intended for live sound technicians, musicians, and studios that need two matched passive channels for a keyboard, electronic drum kit, guitars, or another stereo source.
