Amazing quality for the price!

This is just about the best DI box you can get for this price.

Very well made, and easy to use.

Very good quality for the price

I used four of these DI boxes in the last few years, and they are really good equipment. I bought four more.

One of my friends made precise measurements on these little boxes, and he was amazed at its quality. The signal is very clear and transparent.

They are passive, I don't have to care about batteries or phantom.

I am very satisfied!

A great tool for guitar and bass recording

I am using this for home recording. It cleans up the guitar/bass signal before the audio interface, produce a better clarity and control to your recording.

Best of it's category!

Best value for money passive DI box you can find out there!

Have been using this one for more than 5 years in home studio, and also on a recording studio, and still doing it's job 100%!

If you want a DI box, for everyday use, and don't want to spend a ton of money, this one is the perfect choice!

Pros: Steel strong construction, REALLY affordable, portability, audio quality.

Cons: Be a little bit careful with the filter button. it may give you peaks sometimes. Better press it before plugin-in any instrument or mic.

Great balance of price and quality

Bought to use for small church PA so looking for good quality at a reasonably cheap price. This delivers!

I'm really pleased. I'm sure you could buy something better but it suits our setup perfectly.

Great little DI box

I bought this DI box on a whim, another thing to add to my growing collection of recording gear. I've only recorded a couple of our bands songs with it so far but I am very impressed. The signal is clean with no sign of any hum or unwanted noise.

The pad switchs and ground lift are very handy, the ground lift in particular doing a very good job as and when its required. The filter works well, although I'll never use it, I always record everything flat. But again, no unwanted artefacts from using it.

The thru input is perfectly clean as well, me and our guitarist could detect no additional sound being caused by running through the box.

Build quality is good, it might not weigh anything but it feels like it'll last well and could survive a good few drops or being stood on etc. The only thing I would say, is the buttons could break off if caught the right way, but it would have to be a perfectly placed hit to do this and at this price it wouldn't exactly be the end of the world replacing the unit.

I really can't think of anything negative to say about this box, at this price it just can't be beat. There will be a couple of others added to my next order!

DI boxes

well made and has good performance, equal to units costing twice as much. The connectors are of reasonable quality and should stand regular usage. Could have done with some more filter options such as high and low cut for removing sub sonics and high end crackles.
