This month we cover direct
boxes. A good DI can improve sound much like a good
microphone, ensures the nuance and sound quality of the
instrument is captured and put through the sound system.
Here are some high-quality
choices:
Countryman Type 85
Still popular today, the Countryman Type 85
was one of the first active DI's to come to market. The
Type 85 was designed to add nothing and remove nothing from
the instrument's signal. No distortion, no electronic hum
or buzz, and no loss of dynamic range. The Type 85
delivers a clear, strong, warm signal to the mixer.
Its design is sleek, compact, and virtually
indestructible; and its 9V battery backup to phantom power helps
ensure it will never lose power onstage

Radial JDV MK3
The Radial
JDV MK3 is
arguably the most advanced and sonically superior direct box
made today. With 100% class-A circuit and a 30-Volt internal
rail voltage, the JDV combines
exceptional sonic quality and unmatched dynamic handling for the
most natural and uncolored sound possible.
The JDV
MK3 is designed
for use both in the studio and for live performance. It's
suitable for all instruments where added reach is required and
retaining the original sound of the instrument without
distortion or coloration is paramount.

JDV MK3 here.
ProCo DBA1
The ProCo DBA1 is an
active circuit direct box based on the industry-standard passive
DB1.
The DBA1 offers clean
and reliable performance both on stage and in a studio
environment, with the active electronics allowing for a much
wider frequency response.
Built for the road, the
DBA1's 16-gauge steel and aluminum "uni-box" construction
enclosure will withstand even the toughest tour environments
