Description

Preserve your sound with the Sidekick Passive DI Box. Easily connect your guitar, bass, or keyboard directly to a mixing console! Featuring an isolation transformer, the Hosa Sidekick transforms an instrument-level signal to a line-level signal. Use the Sidekick to go direct for a pure, clean, noise-free tone that is perfect for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) or throw the INST/LINE switch to LINE position to allow your amp to drive the line for a natural, overdriven tone. Either way, it's your sound - all of it!

Key Features

  • Signal Conversion: Converts unbalanced 1/4" TS signals to balanced XLR3M.
  • Hum & Noise Reduction: Eliminates unwanted noise from long cable runs.
  • Passive Design: Requires no external power, offering simple plug-and-play functionality.
  • Road-Ready Build: Robust metal construction built to withstand live performance abuse.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for connecting instruments (guitars, keyboards) to mixers or PA systems.
