SAMSON / MD1 Pro Passive DI

The MD1 Pro is a passive mono direct box (DI). The difference with the MD1 is that it is equipped with a three-stage input gain switch. It also supports speaker-level input, making it a direct box that can meet even more needs.

The Samson MD1 Pro Mono passive direct box combines superior sound circuitry with durable construction to provide a high-quality solution for line, instrument and speaker-level signals. The MD1 Pro allows you to send balanced lines over long distances without introducing noise.

■Custom STLX transformer
One of the features of the MD1 Pro is Samson's STLX Mu-Metal shielded transformer, which provides an extended flat frequency response with ultra-low distortion and excellent protection against hum and RF interference. The MD1 Pro's balanced output provides a clean signal that is less susceptible to noise than unbalanced lines, allowing for longer cable runs. The MD1 Pro also features a three-position 0dB/-15dB/-30dB attenuation switch to switch between line-level and speaker-level signals.

■Thru terminal
The MD1 Pro's Thru terminal allows you to take the input signal and pass it to an amplifier or monitor without affecting the original audio. Depending on the application, it is suitable, especially when many musicians use in-ear monitors.

■Roadworthy Construction
Housed in a 14-gauge steel chassis, the MD1 Pro is designed to withstand the most demanding live tour use. Its rugged exterior protects all of the MD1 Pro's internal connections, switches and solder joints from impacts for high reliability.
