The Hosa DIB-443 Sidekick Passive DI Box is a compact and reliable direct injection (DI) solution designed for converting unbalanced instrument signals to balanced XLR outputs. Featuring a high-quality transformer, this passive DI box ensures clean signal conversion with reduced noise and interference, making it ideal for guitars, basses, keyboards, and other unbalanced audio sources. The 1/4-inch TS input and XLR3M output allow seamless integration into live sound, recording, and broadcast setups. With a rugged metal chassis and ground lift switch, the DIB-443 provides professional-level performance in a lightweight, portable design.

It works with each of the following:

•          Electric guitars, basses, and keyboards

•          Pedal effects and effects processors

•          Any electronic musical instrument with a mono phone output

Use the Sidekick to “go direct” for a pure, clean, noise-free tone that is perfect for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) or throw the INST/LINE switch to LINE position to allow your amp to drive the line for a natural, overdriven tone.
