Samson Audio SMAX MD2PRO

The two-channel MD2 Pro is the next generation of Samson’s affordable and rugged S-Max direct boxes. Its custom STLX transformers have the far-reaching low end (down to 18Hz) to reproduce synth lines and bass guitars in powerful detail with super-low distortion, and Mu-metal shieldings to protect against hum and RFI onstage. So whether you’re looking to re-amp electric guitars in the studio or send a stereo signal to front of house, the Samson MD2 Pro does a great job for the price. The MD2 Pro’s Thru output goes between instruments and amps without coloring the sound, and its dual 3-position attenuators prevent overloading from line- and speaker-level inputs.
