The AC 265 is a single channel passive direct box. It converts high impedance to low impedance, or vice versa. Housed in a cast alloy chassis, the unit supplies two, high impedance, unbalanced 1/4" jacks, and one low impedance balanced XLR jack. The conversion is done via an internal transformer. An adjustable attenuation pad distinguishes this model from the AC 260.
