great on stage

My keyboardist uses this for his 6.3mm keyboard and acoustic guitar. Does the job well and no issues so far (2 yrs or so)

As good as it says!

This D.I box is good. it can attenuate the signal up to -30db. also when a 9v battery is being plucked in, it will ensure the stability of the balanced signal passing through.

I love ART products, I cannot lie.

I use this DI on live performance using an AKAI EWI USB: computer>audio card>volume pedal>ART DI>PA. It sounds fantastic. It has ground lift and a very clean and robust output signal. There is one drawback. The on/off switch is right next to a large bolt that keeps the battery latch closed. The bolt was very tight and I couldn't remove it by hand. Using a pair of pliers, I broke the switch. Not the internal switch, just the clear plastic push piece. It still works fine, but it would be better if they could put that bolt somewhere further away from the on/off switch.

Simple and does the job

no for fussy buyers, i have tested it out in a live situation, do not hear any noise buzzing or static.

signal is good and they have pads on it and ground lift if so u need them.

Highly recomend

The choice of ART Dualxdirect is cost-effective

I use it to connect electric guitar and bass to ART Dualxdirect to the console for both recording and PA use.The sound is clearly and accurate.It have full function such as ground lift?two switchable power source and attenuator,which is very useful in PA.ART Dualxdirect is a good choice for DI !

Solid Unit

Fairly transparent, easy to use DI. It is useful as a signal splitter when tracking guitars and you need multiple parallel inputs. The ground lift and attenuator work well although a switch to add gain would be useful.

Does what it says on the tin

I use this strapped to my pedalboard. It takes the stereo output from the effects chain, and sends it to front-of-house. The through connections go to a small monitor amp.

Clear sound, no noise. Just perfect.

Only adaption I had to make was cut a small notch in the battery compartment cover to allow for it a 9v supply from the pedal board. This was in-case there is no phantom power available where I am playing.

Good robust DI Box

This is a great little Dual X DI Box. Robust, affordable and very handy for studio and stage applications. No noise issues at all and a few good functions to help improve performance to suit situations. Well worth checking out.

Good D.I. for live

Good device for live music or to plug a pc for presentations: the sound quality is not the best of ever, but that's more than enough for live purposes.

Really good quality-price ratio.

Poor qualtiy sound

Not for anyone who wants to record or perform without unwanted hum and hiss.

Very disappointing.
