Millenium DI-E 4-stars Reviews

DI box

Sturdy, works fine

Surprising

For the price I'd definitely recommend having a couple just in case. It won't win any prizes for sound but the build quality of it is better than some costing 3 times as much, metal enclosure. I'd say they are a good supplement to more expensive DIs, a cheap DI is better than none if it gets the job done!

My only real criticism would be the switches are incredibly easy to knock.

Cheap, sturdy and decent sounding.

I bought 2 of these, thinking that If they're completely horrible I could use the housing for some other projects and the chips for parts.

The build quality if great, I transported them in the bottom of a bag with a bunch ()4 of stands standing on top of them (don't ask me why, bad planning) and they barely got scratched. The inputs feel good as well as the switches.

The sound had been varying for me, sometimes I get a noise using the boxes, and sometimes not, this doesn't change with ground lift, and since it's a analog/passive box I don't know why this happens randomly. It MIGHT very well have been something else in the chain, but I'm not sure.

When I record without getting the strange noise they sound pretty decent, a steal for 9 euros.

Good price

This device is very solid. The sound is good. But there is a problem with the ground lift. It doesn't work since there is only paint between the jacks and the box,so there can be a short. May be possible to fix with some tape...

Great value DI box

Great little box, use it to record bass guitar. Sounds greats and if you want a DI in would recommend this. Cheap and cheerful.

A handy little piece of kit

a decent little di box for good money i tend to use it live with an EQ pedal as i find its not quite up to a studio standard although that being said it is a very well put together piece of equipment and i have very little to complain about with it would highly recommend

mega bargain DI

I bought this as a back up for my active DI's. I had tried a few passive di boxes in the past and always ended up going back to my more upmarket ones. I thought this might make a handy backup but it has had a lot more use than I expected as it sounds great.

Since buying it I've used it for bass and keyboards and it took both just fine with no issues. We've used them in the studio for some recording and for a lot of gigs - the sound coming out is exactly what you expect and has helped to cure a few earth loops. Simple to use and feels really reliable.

The construction is way more solid that the price would suggest and I can't imagine it failing anytime soon!

Simple to use, well made and sounds great - every gigging musician should have one in their gigbag!

great little box for a low price

We use this box to connect guitars and basses into the church P.A. system. It is a handy unit which seems to provide a fine sound quality. There is no need to run expensive instrument leads a long distance

the unit comes with a speaker out to allow you to plug into an amplifier after the DI box. It also comes with a ground lift switch

these DI boxes are a really nice price at under ten euros. And they are a must have when running bass guitars through front of house. I would keep a couple of these units on hand as spare just because of there low cost and how useful they are. Well worth buying.

Also the build quality is quite decent. There is a metal casing so these could be dropped or kicked around the stage without hassle or worry.

And because they are not active they do not need to be plugged into a power source which saves extra leads running around the stage.

Millenium DI-E is good enough!

It works! I have three in use!

Cheap and cheerful DI box

Although not overflowing with fancy features this DI box is well made, works well and is solidly built.

The link out feature allows the use of amplifiers etc on stage whilst still allowing the feed to the sound engineer. This means your guitar player or keyboard player can still have their own amplifier but you get a clean, uncolored signal to the mixing desk.

An earth lift switch allows the removal of those nasty and annoying earth loop hums that can wreck an otherwise great sound. i have found these particularly common with laptop computers and the ability to remove them quickly and simple at the flick of a switch is fantastic.

As this is a passive DI box there is no need for phantom power or batteries, just plug in, turn on and get on with it.

No hassle, no frills, just great value and a great product.

Excellent cheap DI box

These are great to carry around as problem solvers and for bulking out DI stock.

On active sources (keyboards, mixers, instruments with active pick-ups) they work great. I wouldn't recommend using them on a passive source (instruments with passive pick-ups) because the resulting output will be very low and won't wound good.

This isn't to say it doesn't work. For example, I was engineering a gig recently and the mixer's phantom power supply wasn't working and we had no 9v batteries left! The bass amp's DI output was noisy so we tried one of these DI's as a last resort. The bass guitar had passive pick ups meaning a lot of treble was lost from the sound but it suited the music and the set of the mix was adjusted to work around it. It saved the gig!

My only concern is the output XLR connector doesn't fit some XLR leads perfectly. Also the retaining clip is quite weak and has broken on a couple of these DI's that I've used. Nothing tape can't fix though!

Again, these are great. You can't say no for the price.

Millenium DI-E

Good, cheap and cheerful DI box. It does what it says on the tin. I'm sure it's not as transparent as more expensive ones but never the less it does the job amicably. The ground lift works well and connections seem solid and the unit well made. Can't go wrong for the money, especially if like me you rarely have the need for one!

Great quality for the price.

Fantastic build quality, and pretty good sound for the money. I used them when I had a load of synths to deal with in an act and couldn't justify buying that many name brand DI's for one gig. I still use them now as the sound quality is good enough for most things, and at this price, I certainly can't complain. Would happily pay another couple of £'s to get a pad switch though.

Overall great bits of kit for the money.
