Quantum Audio Matchmaker Passive Direct Box

The MDV-101 "MATCHMAKER" Direct box is engineered to provide excellent audio performance in a durable and cost effective package. The "MATCHMAKER" provides guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists a means of providing a high fidelity, low impedance, microphone level audio feed simultaneously to a mising console, while also providing the original high impedance, unbalanced signal to the on-stage amplification utilized in most performing environments. The "MATCHMAKER" is designed to accept either an instrument level signal directly from the instrument, a line level signal from the output of an effects device or amplifier pre-amp section, or a speaker level signal from the speaker output jack of an instrument amplifier. The "MATCHMAKER" Direct Box also incorporates a special "Cabinet Emulation" feature allowing the musician to more closely duplicate the on-stage amplifications' tone qualities in the additional audio feed being sent to the mixing console. To prevent 60 cycle hum when a "ground loop" is encounterd between the on-stage amplification and the audio equipment being fed from the balanced output of the MDB-101, a ground lift switch is provided.
