DI-E : I don't use this producte anymore! I have good reasons for that!

Hi folks. Four years ago i required for my keyboard main-outputs a solution for transforming the unbalanced signal (TRS) into a balanced ouput (XLR). I bought two of this little robust boxes (STEREO!) If you want to use a DI for the same setup: Buy it!

But: In a real live or studio situation it is really frustrating, that both DIs are not reliable. The ground lift works not allways effective. It depends on the location. In my opinion a "little helper" must be allways helpful.

I compared situations, in which i have had problems with the Millenium DI-E. Ground lift off: humming. Ground lift on: humming!!! Palmer PAN 01 with ground lift on: no humming. Palmer PAN 04 with ground lift on: no humming. LD Systems LDI 02 with ground lift on: no humming.

After that i throw the two Millenium DI-E to the trash...

I think the DI-E is more an adapter as a true and reliable direct-injection-box!
