Clear Your Signal: Hosa PRO-CONEX SIDEKICK Active Stereo DI Box at Haggerty's Music

Need to connect stereo instruments to a mixing console or DAW without sacrificing your tone? Available now at Haggerty's Music, the Hosa PRO-CONEX SIDEKICK Active Stereo DI Box (DIB-490) is designed to streamline your setup while delivering an active, high-headroom signal path.

Unlike passive direct boxes that can drag down high-impedance signals, the Sidekick utilizes 48V Phantom Power for active buffering. This ensures that the natural transient response, high-end clarity, and frequency content of your source remain bright and intact. It is the perfect dual-channel solution for stereo keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, or running two separate mono instruments (like a bass and an acoustic guitar) through a single, compact unit.

Built for the rigors of the stage, the rugged Pro-Conex Sidekick also serves as an essential troubleshooting toolkit. With a selectable attenuation pad, dedicated Ground Lift, and Polarity Flip switches, you can instantly tame hot signals, eliminate hum loops, and correct phase issues on the fly.

Why You'll Love It:

• True Stereo Operation: Dual-channel design perfectly captures the full stereo image of keyboards and backing tracks, or handles two separate mono instruments to save pedalboard space.
• Pristine Active Circuitry: Powered by standard 48V Phantom Power (no batteries required!), providing massive headroom and preserving your instrument's natural tone.
• Essential Noise Control: Dedicated Ground Lift and Polarity Reverse switches allow for immediate correction of ground hum and phase cancellation.
• Versatile Input Padding: A three-position switch (0dB, -15dB, -30dB) easily accommodates everything from low-output vintage passive basses to high-output active synths and DJ gear.
• Thru-Put Connectivity: Features dual 1/4″ Thru outputs so you can send your unprocessed signal directly to your stage amps while feeding the main PA.
