Samson's MDA1 Mono Active Direct Box combines premium sound circuitry with durable, roadworthy construction, providing high-quality sound for live sound and recording studio applications. The MDA1 operates on either batteries or phantom power and facilitates a clean, balanced line from from your guitars and basses.
Active Operation
The active MDA1 provides an even frequency response on any audio signal you connect to regardless of its output impedance. As such, the MDA1 is ideal for connecting instruments with passive pickups, which have very high impedances, by preserving the top end of the instrument's frequency response. The MDA1's balanced output provides a clean signal that is less susceptible to noise than an unbalanced line, allowing for longer cable runs. In addition, a 2-position 0dB/-15dB attenuation switch lets you adapt the MDA1 to a wide variety of signals.
Thru Jack
The MDA1's Thru jack enables you to split the signal from the input and pass the extra output to an amplifier or monitor without affecting the original audio. This means you can get both the guitar signal straight to the mixer and blasting out of your amplifier on stage, eliminating the need for close miking your guitar amps when it's not necessarily needed.
Roadworthy Construction
Housed in a 14-guage noise-reducing steel chassis, the MDA1 is built to withstand the abuse of the most demanding live tours. Its rigid outer shell protects all the MDA1's internal connections, switches and solder joints from failure, ensuring quiet, reliable performance.
