It converts a high-impedance, instrument-level signal via its 1\/4\" TS unbalanced input to a low-impedance, mic-level output via its balanced XLR 3-pin jack. A 1\/4\" thru jack allows simultaneous connection to an amplifier or pedalboard. A -20 dB pad reduces the input level to prevent distortion when using a high-gain source, and the ground-lift switch inhibits hum caused by ground loops. Additionally, there are switches for polarity and a 120 Hz high-pass filter. The Merge function allows the Thru jack to be used as a second, simultaneous input. Due to its active design, the MDB-1A operates on phantom power. A sturdy steel chassis enables confident use in the studio or on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mackie","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":68022171762819,"sku":"KMC-508183","price":107.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/8060\/3267\/files\/MDB-1A-U.jpg?v=1792779723","url":"https:\/\/soundcofl.com\/products\/sc-kmc-508183","provider":"Sound Collective ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
