## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there a transformer inside this box? does it have a direct throughput?**
A: Yes it has a transformer. That is what converts from hi to low impedance. It is kind of like a gear box for mechanical things.

**Q: Is there any documentation for this available anywhere ?**
A: Not really. It’s a simple device. It converts a 1/4 inch cable to an xlr signal. What other information do you need?

**Q: The product photos are for a completely different product than what is described, right?**
A: You are correct --- this [photo] is not the product I bought...

**Q: I have an acoustic guitar with a passive pickup that is way to low in volume going into my kustom pa50 mini pa. will this give me lots more volume?**
A: I don't think it will add volume to your acoustic. This really is not a preamp, but rather a simple box to allow you to plug in a phone type of jack input as on most guitar cables into this box and then use a XLR type of cable as on most microphone cables as an output into your PA system. 

There are similar products that are "active" "Direct Boxes" that offer the feature of a preamp...they will give you the boost you are looking for from your passive pickup. 

Do a search regarding "acoustic guitar preamp/DI Box."
