Countryman Type10 Direct Box

Countryman Type10 Direct Box

The Type 10 DI box combines exceptional ruggedness and versatility with an advanced design that sets a new standard for pure performance.
The Type 10 achieves the highest SNR, lowest phase deviation, and lowest distortion of any DI. Some boxes achieve low distortion over a narrow range of frequencies and levels, but end up coloring the low frequencies and distorting loud signals. The Type 10 maintains exceptionally low THD and IMD across the entire audio band, and for a wide range of input voltages, rendering your sound with extremely high fidelity.
