No weak links, no level drops, frequency attenuation, radioelectrical interference or impedance mismatch are acceptable for your live performance or studio setup.<\/p>\n<p>No more loud \u201cpops, hums, hisses or clicks\u201d, no more running back and forth from Stage to FOH in a desperate search for the source of such problems. Record critical tracks live or in the studio with total confidence.<\/p>\n<p><b>Selectable Impedance Matching to Avoid Colouration<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Banana DI features an input impedance selector switch to cater for most source signals. It offers the choice of Impedances of 1.6M\u03a9 or the 27k\u03a9 when in the -15dB setting. Choosing the 1.6M\u03a9 will provide the best results for general Hi-Z applications, though using either setting will not colour the signal and still provide all the natural tone of your instrument.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unique LCD Display<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional direct boxes, the Banana DI features an LC-Display screen that gives a visual indication of the input level into the DI. By having a visual marker via a graphic display, the player can judge whether the input signal is \u201ctoo hot\u201d and needs to be reduced, thus reducing any chance of signal peak and distortion. Using the Banana DI in this manner will ensure the tones are as clean as possible.<\/p>\n<p><b>Transformerless Design<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Some transformers can alter the sound of the input signal, either by colouring it or adding a slight amount of distortion through the transformer\u2019s circuitry. However, the Banana DI has a \u201cfloating\u201d design, which does not require the use of a transformer. This means the signal impulse is improved and distortion is minimised. Signal integrity is also maintained by the use of all-analogue circuitry which is engaged when the ground lift is activated, this will solve most grounding and buzz issues.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who are Monkey Banana?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Monkey Banana was formed in Germany in 2004 with a goal of creating audio products with exceptional design and engineering quality at a competitive price. After years of testing, design research and perfecting manufacturing techniques, their first studio monitors were released to the public in 2010. Monkey Banana\u2019s audio products have generated a lot of passionate interest and are used by professional producers, DJs, musicians and studios around the world.<\/p>\n<p>FEATURES<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hexagonal Shape Direct Box<\/li>\n<li>Power On\/Off Switch<\/li>\n<li>LCD Display<\/li>\n<li>Virtually Unbreakable Metal Casing<\/li>\n<li>Transformerless Design to reduce Distortion<\/li>\n<li>Ground-Lift Switch that lets you totally separate the input and output signal grounds, to reduce hum and ground-loop noise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<table class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes shop_attributes\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--attribute_pa_brands\">\n<th class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\">Brands<\/th>\n<td class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\">Monkey Banana<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--attribute_pa_color\">\n<th class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\">Color<\/th>\n<td class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\">Black<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--attribute_pa_product-type\">\n<th class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\">Product Type<\/th>\n<td class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\">D.I.
