The 2P excels as a stereo direct box for keyboards and playback, and it works equally well for two mono instruments - Connect your instrument(s) to the high-impedance 1/4" TS inputs, and the MDB-2P will pass the high-impedance signal to another destination (like a pair of amps) using the 1/4" TS thru outputs - The balanced, low-impedance XLR outputs excel at long cable runs in environments where noise is an issue. Connect this XLR output to a mixer or interface. If there is still any hum, hit the ground lift switch - As a passive DI box, the Mackie MDB-2P requires no power and passes two clean, balanced signals with ultra-low noise and distortion. It's the perfect no-hassle option for live performance and touring - The Mackie MDB-2P stereo direct box excels at handling high-output synths. When using a louder instrument, just engage the -15 dB pads to ensure distortion-free performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079C8YN82 | | Audio Input | XLR | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,756 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 4 in DI Units | | Brand | Mackie | | Brand Name | Mackie | | Compatible Devices | Computer, Amplifier, Speaker | | Compatible devices | Computer, Amplifier, Speaker | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connectivity technology | XLR | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 381 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00663961053999 | | Item Type Name | Stereo Passive Direct Box | | Item Weight | 408 g | | Item weight | 408 g | | Manufacturer | Mackie | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2049172-00 | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Model Number | MDB-2P | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of channels | 2 | | Operating System | Linux, Windows, macOS | | Operating system | Linux, Windows, macOS | | Product Warranty | 1-year all inclusive, nontransferable. | | UPC | 663961053999 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mackie - **Compatible devices:** Computer, Amplifier, Speaker - **Connectivity technology:** XLR - **Item weight:** 408 g - **Number of channels:** 2 ## Images ![Mackie MDB-2P 2-Channel Passive Direct Box (DI) With Ground Lift and -15 dB Pads - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kSSuXlX7L.jpg) ![Mackie MDB-2P 2-Channel Passive Direct Box (DI) With Ground Lift and -15 dB Pads - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TulBDtf9L.jpg) ![Mackie MDB-2P 2-Channel Passive Direct Box (DI) With Ground Lift and -15 dB Pads - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ipNKOcv3L.jpg) ![Mackie MDB-2P 2-Channel Passive Direct Box (DI) With Ground Lift and -15 dB Pads - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ootg7BCUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i use this for connecting the unbalanced l and r ts outputs from a drum machine into the balanced xlr inputs of two (left and right) speakers?** A: Yes. It is a two channel direct box. This device translates input from each 1/4" input to the associated XLR output. You could do this with stereo L/R outputs or two separate instruments entirely. **Q: Can I run 2 Keyboards in stereo thru this?** A: It has two inputs and two outputs, imagine two very slim DI's attached together. So yes you can run stereo in but its going to be separate XLR outputs for L & R **Q: Wondering if there is any bleed between left and right? We use loops with loops out right and a click our left to the board.** A: There should be no bleed. **Q: I don’t see the xlr out outputs on this unit??** A: The XLR outputs are there. This direct box works great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best *by Z***D on 13 March 2026* Very satisfied with the results.
