BOSS DI-1 Direct Box Active DI for Professional Audio Connections
The Boss DI-1 is a high-performance active direct injection (DI) box designed to transform high-impedance, unbalanced instrument output signals (such as guitars, basses, and keyboards) into clean, low-impedance balanced signals for PA systems and recording interfaces. Built to road-ready standards, it guarantees crystal-clear sound reproduction across long cable runs without tone loss or signal degradation.

DI Boxes: Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy an Active or Passive DI?
The general rule for 2026 is: **Active DI** for passive instruments (to boost signal and preserve high-end) and **Passive DI** for active instruments (to handle high output without clipping). If you are unsure, the **Rupert Neve RNDI** is a versatile active unit that sounds incredible on almost everything.
What is the "Ground Lift" switch for?
In the UAE and GCC, electrical interference from AC units can cause a persistent "hum." The **Ground Lift** switch physically disconnects the ground pin on the XLR, breaking the ground loop and instantly removing the noise without affecting the audio.
Can I plug my electric guitar amp directly into a DI?
Only if the DI box has a "Speaker Level" switch (like the **RNDI** or **Radial J48**). This allows you to capture the sound of your amp's output transformer. **WARNING:** You must still have a speaker or "load box" connected to your amp to prevent damage.
Do you ship to Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar?
Yes. **gigstore** provides secure, insured shipping for all studio and live sound accessories across the GCC, ensuring your gear arrives in perfect condition for your next performance.
