Samson MD2 Pro 2-channel Passive Instrument Direct Box

Two DI Channels in a Single Case

The two-channel MD2 Pro is the next generation of Samson's affordable and rugged S-Max direct boxes. Its custom STLX transformers have the far-reaching low end (down to 18Hz) to reproduce synth lines and bass guitars in powerful detail with super-low distortion, and Mu-metal shieldings to protect against hum and RFI onstage. So whether you're looking to re-amp electric guitars in the studio or send a stereo signal to front of house, the Samson MD2 Pro does a great job for the price. The MD2 Pro's Thru output goes between instruments and amps without coloring the sound, and its dual 3-position attenuators prevent overloading from line- and speaker-level inputs.

Custom STLX shielded transformers are rich, dynamic, and quiet

The transformer is where the rubber meets the road in a passive DI box. And fortunately, Samson's custom STLX transformers deliver in the MD2 Pro. The STLX covers the full audible spectrum and beyond, able to capture all the subharmonic richness of a synth and high-end detail of an acoustic guitar and carry it noise-free to your mixing board or interface thanks to a Mu-metal shielding.

3-way attenuators prevent input overloading

Dual 0dB/-15dB/-30dB attenuator switches let you use passive instruments, line-level signals, and speaker-level signals without overloading your DI. So whatever your needs, this MD2 Pro has you covered.

Steel chassis is built for the road

The Samson MD2 Pro's 14-gauge steel housing resists noise and stage abuse to keep your events running smooth night after night.
