Samson MD1 Pro – Mono Passive Direct Box. The MD1 Pro Mono Passive Direct Box combines premium sound circuitry with durable, road-ready construction to provide a high-quality solution for line, instrument, and speaker-level signals. The MD1 Pro allows you to send balanced line signals from your instrument over long distances without introducing noise. This listing is the S-Max MD1Pro – Mono Passive Direct Box.
Why customers choose it
- To The Max: The MD1 Pro’s Thru jack allows you to take the signal from the input and send it to an amplifier or monitor without affecting the original audio. This can eliminate the need for miking guitar amps, which may be preferable in some applications, especially as more musicians use in-ear monitors.
- Clean, Clear Signal: The MD1 Pro features Samson’s STLX Mu-Metal shielded transformer, which provides an extended, flat frequency response with ultra-low distortion and superior protection against hum and RF interference. The MD1 Pro’s balanced output provides a clean signal that is less susceptible to noise than an unbalanced line, allowing for longer cable runs.
- Roadworthy Construction: Housed in a 14-gauge steel chassis, the MD1 Pro is built to withstand the abuse of the most demanding live tours. Its rigid outer shell protects all the MD1 Pro’s internal connections, switches, and solder joints from failure, ensuring quiet, reliable performance.
- Live SoundWhat is Balanced Audio?: If you work with gear like audio interfaces, home studio mixers, or portable PA systems, you’ve probably seen input jacks marked Hi-Z. You might have heard of these Hi-Z inputs or seen them in spec sheets, and you might even know that the “Z” stands for “impedance”, so “Hi-Z” is short for “high impedance”.
