Regulars in the back. Guests up front.

Your everyday workhorses stay patched in the back—neat, tidy, out of sight. When a borrowed synth shows up, a friend brings a bass over, or you finally pull that dusty drum machine off the shelf, just plug into the front panel. Each front-panel input automatically overrides the rear connection, so your regulars are always ready and there's always room for something new. Eight channels of pristine, high-headroom passive DI in an industrial 1RU enclosure for minimal footprint and maximum lifespan, with every cable exactly where it should be. We built the rack DI we always wished we had.
