ACTIVE KEY 1-Channel Active DI-Box Klark Teknik DN100 V2

For musicians and engineers who demand pristine signal integrity on stage or in the studio, the ACTIVE KEY 1-Channel Active DI-Box Klark Teknik DN100 V2 stands apart with its custom Midas transformer and ultra-low distortion — a combination rarely found in this class. Unlike passive boxes that can dull transients, this active design preserves every nuance, from the snap of a snare to the growl of a bass, while rejecting hum and buzz with authority.

Highlights

• Active circuitry with +48V phantom power for extended headroom and clarity
• Custom Midas transformer delivers exceptional signal purity and isolation
• Switchable -20 dB and -40 dB input pads handle hot signals up to +30 dBu
• Ground lift switch eliminates hum from ground loops instantly
• Rugged aluminium extrusion chassis with protective silicone rubber corners
• Dual input options: balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4" TS
• Link output for parallel connection to an amplifier or monitor

In daily use

Connect your instrument, keyboard, or line-level source to the DN100 V2 and send a balanced, noise-free signal to the mixing console over long cable runs. The active design ensures your tone remains full and dynamic, even with passive pickups. When facing a loud stage, engage the pad to prevent clipping; when hum appears, a quick flick of the ground lift switch restores silence. The link output lets you feed a stage amp simultaneously, so you never lose your on-stage sound.
