DI box or Direct Input Box is frequently used to connect our bass or amp into the mixer. The box helps to balance the signal and reduce noise or distortion.
Since I use my bass amp as my monitor, the connection will be for the bass to line in into the DI box,
DI box will have a link to the input of the amp. The DI box output (XLR) will go into the mixer.
Hope this information is useful.
