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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***L on July 3, 2024* Works great. Solid build. A little bit of signal reduction.
