FE2 Direct Input Box Kit

Build your own boutique passive direct box. Our popular DI box kit is back with expanded features and two transformer options. The FE2's studio-quality electronics are housed in an architectural aluminum enclosure that's rugged enough for the road.   The new FE2 features a through jack for patching to an amp or speaker and a switch for selecting between instrument or amp sources. The amp, or "SPKR," mode is great for recording old guitar and bass amps without line outputs. The FE2's output section features a Neutrik XLR jack and ground lift switch for eliminating hum.  Transformer Options We're proud to offer two USA-made transformer options: the FE-X1 wound for us and the legendary Cinemag CM-DBX.  The main difference between the transformers is their noise immunity. The sonic differences between them are very subtle, but when radio signals or other interference are present, the higher-priced transformers will exhibit less noise.
