Suitable for multi-instrument setups during live or studio gigs, the dbx DI4 is a 4-channel active direct box that balances high-impedance, unbalanced signals to drive long cables without high-end deterioration. It can also mix down the four channels to a stereo pair of RCA outputs and a headphone connector for monitoring or a quick recording session. Each channel has a level control and panning for proper balance and stereo imaging. A master volume controls the overall output level.

Q: 1. I am planning on using this as essentially an 1/8th in. to XLR adapter, then inputting to a console. What is the reason (if there is a reason) to use the LTIBLOX as opposed to using a 1/4 in. cable with an 1/8th in. adapter? Could the LTIBLOX be considered a preamp, or am I misunderstanding its primary / intended function?

A: You can use a 1/4 to 1/8 cable. But, this makes it a whole lot easier. You can easily extend this out 50-100' with an XLR, as opposed to the 6' of 1/4 cable that you would suggest. And, you don't have to worry about losing the adapter. We are a rental house, and own about 25 of these things. Its great for the group that 'just wants to plug their iPhone in for some music.
