Powered entirely by 48V phantom power, it converts a hi-Z instrument output into a low-noise, low-Z balanced XLR signal for longer cable runs and improved clarity on stage or in the studio. With high input impedance, a -12 dB pad, and a 180° polarity switch, the SB-1 ensures optimal tone and feedback control in a compact, travel-ready housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive DI design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Converts hi-Z instrument signals to balanced low-Z for clean, noise-free performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh input impedance (220 kΩ):\u003c\/strong\u003e Preserves tone from acoustic instruments and vintage pickups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e48V phantom-powered:\u003c\/strong\u003e No batteries or external power supply required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e-12 dB pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handles high-output instruments such as active basses and keyboards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e180° polarity switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps control feedback on stage by eliminating low-frequency hot spots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuner Out:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always-on thru output for tuners or on-stage amps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRugged construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-gauge steel chassis, mil-spec PCB, and durable switches for touring reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCustomer Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SB-1 provides acoustic performers and instrumentalists with a clean, reliable connection to any PA system.
