TM-2 Trigger Module : Good but could be better

While this module is highly recommended by many people and in use by many renowned drummers, it has two significant downsides I wish I knew before buying it.

Even though it is a powered unit, the output channels are not balanced. Since my kick trigger signal goes directly into a stage box to FoH I need a DI Box to make the signal transmittable over such a long distance.

Furthermore, the output volume is way below what I would expect from a line leve signal, which is what I expect from a powered module. But alass this can be fixed by adding lots of gain in the mixing consoles mic preamp.

So since both issues are easily fixed, it gets a good rating. But I just don't get why roland would save money by ommiting a propper balanced line out channel.
