Klark Teknik DN200 V2 Active Stereo DI Box — Phantom-Powered Signal Conversion

The Klark Teknik DN200 V2 is a 2-channel active stereo direct injection box designed to convert unbalanced, high-impedance signals from instruments, laptops, and playback devices into balanced, low-impedance output ready for any professional mixing console. The DN200 V2 is the right choice for live sound engineers, keyboard players, and home-studio producers who need a single compact unit to handle stereo sources, mono instruments, and consumer playback gear without signal loss or noise. Running entirely on standard 48 V phantom power from the desk, this model removes the hassle of batteries or external supplies while keeping the active circuitry ready at all times. A high headroom design and wide dynamic range preserve transients and detail from sources ranging from acoustic guitar pickups to stereo laptop outputs. Around back, gold-plated balanced XLR outputs feed long cable runs to the front-of-house console with full transformer isolation.

Sum/Split Routing and Phantom-Powered Active Circuitry

What sets this DI box apart from typical mono units is its built-in Sum and Split routing matrix, which replaces external adapters and extra cabling. Engaging Sum folds a stereo input down to a single mono output, while Split duplicates one mono source to both balanced outputs for parallel feeds to FOH and a recording rig. The active circuitry runs on switchable 48 V phantom power per channel, with dedicated LEDs confirming presence of phantom on each input. A thick aluminum housing paired with replaceable silicone rubber bumpers absorbs the inevitable bumps of stage work.

Inputs — Connect Any Instrument or Playback Source

Versatile input options let one box cover keyboards, guitars, and consumer audio devices at the same time. Two Neutrik XLR/jack combo sockets accept balanced XLR or unbalanced 6.3 mm jack sources, while a front-panel 3.5 mm stereo TRS mini jack handles laptops, phones, and media players directly.

• Inputs: Jack 3.5 mm, Jack 6.3 mm — covers instruments and consumer playback
• Line inputs: 2 — two Neutrik combo sockets for stereo or dual-mono sources
• Hi-Z instrument input: Neutrik XLR/jack combo — preserves pickup tone from passive instruments

Outputs — Balanced Feed to the Console

Balanced outputs keep noise out of long cable runs between stage and mixer. Gold-plated XLR connectors feed the desk, while parallel 6.3 mm jack outputs provide a secondary feed for monitors or a second destination.

• Outputs: XLR, Jack 6.3 mm — balanced feed plus a parallel jack output
• Phantom power: Yes, switchable per channel — no batteries or external PSU needed
• Output transformers: optimized for performance and isolation — eliminates ground-loop hum on long runs

Controls and Build — Stage-Ready Hardware

Front-panel switches solve common stage problems without patching extra gear. The -20 dB pad tames hot line-level signals, the ground lift kills 60-cycle hum, and the Sum/Split matrix handles routing on the fly. A compact aluminum chassis keeps the unit light enough for any pedalboard or rack shelf.

• Controls: Split, Sum, Lift/Ground Switch, Pad — covers routing, attenuation, and hum rejection
• Pad attenuation: -20 dB — protects against hot line-level overloads
• Battery powered: No — runs entirely on console phantom power
• Dimensions: 118 x 63 x 142 mm — fits small stages and studio racks
• Weight: 0.65 kg — light enough for mobile rigs
