The DI-400x is four discrete, high-quality, professional-grade active DI box for touring sound applications and recording studios. It has a major advantage over other high-end DI boxes on the market, with its built-in Sonic Maximizer processors which employ the BBE 4th Generation Processing Engine - just like the 482i and 882i Sonic Maximizer models. The DI-400x yields excellent results with active or passive bass guitars, keyboards, and both acoustic and electric guitars.   The DI-400x is an excellent choice for transferring any musical instrument signal direct to a mixing console.

Above all, the DI-400x was designed without compromise, with paramount importance placed on maintaining the highest sonic integtity. All of the switches, pots and connectors are connected directly to its military-spec circuit board, rather than “fly-wired” to the PC board. The primary advantage of this design is that allows the legs of most board mounted components to be dramatically thicker than the narrow conductors commonly employed in many audio designs. All this in a musically engineered and massively constructed DI that can withstand the most demanding conditions.
