Countryman Type 85 S Direct Box

Countryman Type 85 S

An industry-standard with road-proven ruggedness, the Type 85 is truly a legend. The Type 85S is a two-channel version of the classic Type 85 FET direct box. With several input connector options, a huge dynamic range, and three pad settings, the Type 85S is an excellent choice for a wide variety of stereo or two-channel applications. Armored inside and out, with a molded core wrapped in an extra thick architectural aluminum housing, our DI boxes are virtually indestructable. Get it at a reasonable price.
