Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The WA-DI-P2 is a two-channel stereo direct box for routing instrument-level sources as balanced, mic-level outputs. Its selectable active/passive operation gives the unit two operating modes; active mode is powered by 48V phantom power. A custom-wound CineMag USA output transformer, variable -3 dB to -30 dB pad, and ground lift switch provide practical control over stereo signal routing. The rugged aluminum enclosure suits repeated use in stage and studio signal chains.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Routing a stereo keyboard, synthesizer, pedalboard, or other dual-channel source to balanced mic-level outputs.
  • Stage or studio setups needing two independent direct-injection channels.
  • Managing input level with the variable -3 dB to -30 dB pad.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Mono-only routing when two stereo channels are not needed.
