Thicker Injection Box
(Discontinued)

The TI Box, AKA “Thicker Injection Box” is a passive DI box with vintage-inspired sonic characteristics.  Its tone comes from a custom designed LBA-MC15 transformer to deliver thicker tone and 4.6dB greater output volume than typical of modern passive DI Boxes.  This box is not a recreation of a classic DI, but rather a new take on classic ideas.  Therefore, its sound, while colorful in a vintage sort of way, is unique to this device.  The frequency response is flat across and beyond the audio spectrum as measured with test equipment.  In practical use, you’ll probably notice a bit of heft in the sub-bass, dominance in the mids, and a slight softening in the highs, all of which define the TI Box sound.   
The TI Box is very hand-made in the USA using the highest quality materials possible.  No power supply required since this is a passive DI.  It features 1/4" instrument input and bypass jacks, a Neutrik XLR balanced output jack, and phase invert and ground lift switches.  The output impedance is 1.4k Ohms and is designed to be connected to the microphone input of a preamplifier, mixing console, PA system, or channel strip.  The TI Box is sold direct for $169 USD plus shipping.         
Features:
  • 4.6dB louder than a conventional passive DI Box.
  • 1/4" input and bypass jacks
  • Neutrik XLR balanced output jack
  • Phase invert switch
  • Ground lift switch.  This is technically not a lift, but rather a ground loop hum rejection filter.  
Technical Specifications:
  • Frequency Response:  Flat from 17Hz-23kHz +/- 1dB when used as directed. 
  • 0.002% THD+N when measured with a 100mV 1kHz sine wave driving the input and a 1.4k Ohm load on the output.  
  • Weight:  12.5oz./356g.
  • Dimensions:  (LxWxH)  5.279"/134.1mm x 4.199"/106.67mm x 2.228"/56.61mm
