To get the most from a direct box, your mixing board must have balanced mic and/or line inputs! (Note that some mixers offer both XLR and 1/4 balanced inputs -- check your manual.) Use a direct box if you are experiencing hum, buzz, or radio interference, or if your instrument's cable is longer than 20 feet.
When a transversal (any line that passes through two parallel lines) cuts two parallel lines then the angles that correspond to the similar positions (angles in the matching corners) with respect to either of the parallel lines and lie on the same side of the transversal are called the Corresponding angles.
Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 degrees while complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees. Supplementary and complementary angles do not have to be adjacent (sharing a vertex and side, or next to), but they can be. Two concepts that are related but not the same are supplementary angles and complementary angles.
