High Headroom Design: The Klark Teknik DN-100-V2 features a high headroom design, accommodating input levels up to 35 dBu without distortion. This allows musicians to connect instruments with higher output signals, ensuring clear and dynamic sound reproduction. The inclusion of +48 V phantom power makes it suitable for professional audio applications, providing the necessary power for various microphones and active devices.

Transformer-Isolated Design: This DI box utilizes a fully transformer-isolated design, which ensures electrical separation between PA systems and stage equipment. This isolation minimizes noise and interference, making it ideal for environments with multiple electronic devices. It helps eliminate ground loops, providing a clean and professional audio signal.

Versatile Connectivity: The DN-100-V2 features a balanced line input on a Neutrik XLR connector, along with two high-impedance 1/4″ TRS inputs. This versatility allows for easy connection to various audio sources, including electric and acoustic instruments. Additionally, the link output on the 1/4″ TRS connector enables convenient routing to amplifiers or additional gear.

Input Pad and Earth Lift Switches: Equipped with a 20 dB input pad and earth lift switches, the DN-100 offers enhanced flexibility in different setups. The input pad allows for seamless handling of high-level signals, while the earth lift switch helps to eliminate hum and noise caused by ground loops, ensuring a clean signal.

Robust Construction: Designed for the rigors of live performances, the DN-100-V2 features a durable aluminum extrusion casing with protective rubber corners. This construction not only enhances the box’s ruggedness but also provides shock resistance, making it suitable for transport in various environments.

Illuminated Controls: The DN-100-V2 includes illuminated pad and earth lift switches, allowing for easy visibility in low-light situations. This feature enables users to quickly check the status of the DI box during performances, enhancing user convenience.

Dual-Impedance Inputs: With its dual-impedance inputs, the DN-100-V2 can easily accommodate both passive and active instruments. When using the XLR input, the impedance is set at 20 kΩ, while the 1/4″ TRS input offers a nominal 1 MΩ impedance for optimal performance with passive pickups. This flexibility ensures that the DN-100 can adapt to a wide range of instruments and scenarios.
