There are just some things that aren't glamorous or fun, but you've got to have them. And if you got to have one, it might as well be rugged and inexpensive, right The DUALZDirect fits the bill perfectly. Plug in any pair of instrument-, line-, or speaker-level signals and have the DUALZDirect output them as balanced mic-level signals. It's that simple. In the studio it's great for keyboards and samplers; onstage, you'll find a million and one uses for it. When it's got to work and it's got to be inexpensive, it's got to be the DUALZDirect from ART.
