DI-E : Affordable passive DI that punches above its price level!

12 years ago

I bought this DI box as my first DI, my only experience with DI boxes being with some very bad sounding active DIs by Behringer and others. I'm using it with my acoustic guitar with onboard electronics (UST plus endpin preamp) and I prefer the sound of a passive DI box because it tames the harsh transients the piezo element produces. I tried replacing it with several other passive DI boxes costing up to about six times the price and I didn't notice an actual difference in sound quality, at least not for on stage use, in the studio I can't really say, I record using microphones. If you need a passive DI box for little money look no further! The only reason I can think of to look at something else is if you are a bass player as it lacks some punch in the bass frequencies.
