Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
DN100 V2 is a mono active direct box for sending guitar, bass, keyboards, or line-level sources to a balanced XLR output. The 1/4-inch TS input has a 1 Mohm impedance for passive pickups, while the XLR input uses 20 kohm for line-level sources. Transformer isolation, internal supply isolation, and the ground-lift switch address noise associated with grounding situations; its high-pass filter removes frequencies below the range of most instruments. LEDs show the -30 dB pad, 48V phantom-power, and ground-lift status at a glance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar, bass, or keyboard signals that need a balanced isolated XLR feed for stage or recording use.
- Line-level sources connected through the 20 kohm XLR input.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Stereo sources that need two independent direct-box channels.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How does the DN100 V2 address ground-loop noise?
It combines galvanic isolation with a ground-lift switch that breaks the connection between input and output grounds.
02Does it have a high-pass filter?
Yes. The filter removes ultralow frequencies below the range of most instruments.
