## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this for connecting the unbalanced l and r ts outputs from a drum machine into the balanced xlr inputs of two (left and right) speakers?**
A: Yes.  It is a two channel direct box. This device translates input from each 1/4" input to the associated XLR output.  You could do this with stereo L/R outputs or two separate instruments entirely.

**Q: Can I run 2 Keyboards in stereo thru this?**
A: It has two inputs and two outputs, imagine two very slim DI's attached together. So yes you can run stereo in but its going to be separate XLR outputs for L & R

**Q: Wondering if there is any bleed between left and right? We use loops with loops out right and a click our left to the board.**
A: There should be no bleed.

**Q: I don’t see the xlr out outputs on this unit??**
A: The XLR outputs are there. This direct box works great.
