Klark Teknik DN100 V2 1-Channel Active Direct Box

SKU CH-V8A0-JWXF5

A 1-channel active direct box with transformer-isolated output, +48 V phantom power, 20 dB pad, and rugged aluminium casing

  • High headroom handles hot signals cleanly with +48 V phantom power
  • Transformer isolation breaks ground loops between stage and PA
  • Versatile Neutrik XLR line input plus 1/4″ TRS instrument input and link
  • 20 dB pad and earth-lift switches adapt to any source
  • Rugged aluminium extrusion with rubber corners survives road use

Active DI box for stage and studio

The Klark Teknik DN100 V2 is a single-channel active direct box built for audio engineers and musicians who need clean signal transfer from instruments to a mixing console. Its high-headroom design works with standard +48 V phantom power to deliver extended dynamic range for electric and acoustic sources. A fully transformer-isolated output provides electrical separation between stage gear and the PA system. Rugged aluminium extrusion with protective rubber corners withstands touring demands.

Transformer-isolated balanced output

The defining specification is the fully transformer-isolated balanced output on a Neutrik XLR connector, which eliminates ground loops and protects connected equipment from phantom-power faults. This isolation ensures the console receives a clean, low-impedance signal regardless of stage wiring conditions. The 20 dB input pad and earth-lift switches add further control over level and hum rejection. High-impedance 1/4" TRS input and link connectors complete the signal path.

Switches and connectors shape daily use

The front-panel 20 dB pad lets you attenuate hot instrument signals without an external attenuator, while the earth-lift switch breaks ground loops instantly. A Neutrik XLR output and 1/4" TRS input/link pair give reliable, industry-standard connections for cables already in your kit. The compact aluminium chassis with rubber corners protects switches and jacks from impact during load-in and load-out.

Questions about this item

How does the +48 V phantom power requirement affect the DN100 V2's headroom in a live rig?

The unit runs on standard +48 V phantom power from any mixing console, and its high-headroom circuit topology raises the clipping point so hot instrument signals can be handled without engaging the 20 dB pad.

What does the transformer-isolated XLR output actually prevent on stage?

The fully transformer-isolated design breaks ground loops and provides electrical separation between the PA system and stage equipment, stopping hum and protecting gear from phantom-power faults.

Will the aluminum extrusion and rubber corners fit a standard pedalboard or rack tray?

The compact, rugged enclosure uses a thick aluminum extrusion with protective silicone rubber corners, making it small enough for pedalboards and tough enough for rack trays or floor use.
