The MDA1 operates on either batteries or phantom power and allows clean, balanced lines to be sent from your guitars and basses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Samson Tech S-MAX MDA1 Single-Channel Active Direct Box features an all-metal, impact-resistant construction to provide high-quality signal-connection solutions for live and studio applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is suitable for running longer signals to your mixer in high-interference environments. An input attenuator lets you adapt the box to a wide variety of signals, while a ground-lift switch enables you to further remove hum and buzz. The unit can run on 48V phantom or 9V battery power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1475\/9390\/files\/S-MDA1_Input-output.webp?v=1781107889\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eActive Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"mjjjy\"\u003eThe active MDA1 provides a flat frequency response to any audio signal you connect it to, regardless of its output impedance. This makes the MDA1 ideal for connecting instruments with very high impedance passive pickups by preserving the top end of the instrument's frequency response. The MDA1's balanced output provides a clean signal that is less susceptible to noise than an unbalanced line, allowing for longer cable runs. In addition, a 2-position 0dB\/-15dB attenuation switch allows you to match the MDA1 to a wide variety of signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"mjjjy\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1475\/9390\/files\/MDA1-Setup-SA1456.webp?v=1781107933\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTo The Max\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"mjjjy\"\u003eThe MDA1's Thru jack allows you to take the signal from the input and send it to an amplifier or monitor without affecting the original audio.
