The legendary Type 85 is hand-built for extreme performance, low noise, and low distortion.
The classic Type 85 connects any high-impedance instrument pickup, even piezo pickups, to a balanced microphone (XLR type) input. It provides a strong, clean signal to the mix board without adding noise or distortion. It won't change the tone or volume you hear from your own amp like passive direct boxes. It won't break just when you need it. It won't develop a dead battery on stage because it runs on Phantom power.
An industry-standard with road-proven ruggedness, the Type 85 is truly a legend.
Armored inside and out, with a molded core wrapped in an extra thick architectural aluminum housing, our DI boxes are virtually indestructable.
