Millenium DI-E Reviews

Value for money!

Does the job if you are tight on cash and need to buy a lot of those.

No problems with it for the moment.

Great equipment

Great equipment with great quality

Millenium DI-E Passive DI Box

Nice little D.I. box for studio or stage use.

I use them in both situations and am totally satisfied with their performance.

No Negatives just a genuinely good value item.

A cheap, quality Passive DI.

This is a little beast in sheep's clothing. You're paying dirt cheap for a DI that sports two inputs and is extremely sturdy.

Pros:

-Ridiculously cheap for what it is. I can't stress this enough.

-Super sturdy. A must-have for this sort of equipment.

-Feels like hardened metal, which is surprising.

-Works flawlessly.

Cons:

-Not much of a con, but even though it feels sturdy, it doesn't looks as good as it actually is.

Another amazing, dirt-cheap product I happened to review. If you need a DI that won't empty your scarce funds, this is the one for you.

does what it has to do

i have it from 2006-still working and work as it should-i use it every week for live shows

Great Value For Money

I bought 2 of these DI boxes for use in my Scottish Traditional band (guitar and fiddle). And I have to say I couldn't be more impressed. I borrowed an MTR DI-1 and the Millenium DI-E, for a fraction of the price - There isn't much of a sound difference.

PROS

Sturdy Build Quality

Sounds Great!

Ground/Lift Switch Good

For Unwanted Noise.

CONS

Attenuation switch would be a good addition

Overall I think this DI box would be a great addition to any gigging musician's gig bag who doesn't want to break the bank.

Amazing for reamping

I bought this for budget reamping, it works great for that.

I bought another -20db xlr pad that I put in between my audio interface and this DI box and there is absolutely no noise coming out the amp, sounds the same as if plug in my guitar directly into the amp.

Does what it says

It's small, it does what it says and it's cheap! What more could you ask?

Excellent buy for the price

Used for band rehearsals.

Connected to Bass and Guitars and absolutely no noise for the price i have paid.

Works well and does the trick.

impressed

This is pretty good really! It costs next to nothing and works really effectively, it has not completely got rid of hum in my case but it does get it down to a level thats sooo much more usable and what you are left with is more of a faint noise rather than a deep ground-loop hum and most pedals create a fair bit of noise anyway so Im sure its most likely just the pedals making that slight noise, so this thing might actually be doing a perfect job! i just haven`t had the means to test that out with something that not pedals yet , but i would say its possibly the most effective 10 euros i have spent :) oh and its built like a metal brick so it is solid as those words sound

Good little unit for the price

For a cheap as chips DI box, these little things are pretty good. They cant compete with more expensive units, but for a low cost passive unit, they do the job pretty well. Very handy to keep in your lead box.

Best D.I. for its money!

The good:

Robust design, sound is more than fine and you can use it in reverse to reamp a guitar or bass amp.

Although its best to use a designated reamping box.

The bad:

Not much, the only reason i did not give it a 5 star is that the rubber feet can get lost too easily.

That said, i would buy again!

Good product for money

I use 2 of those DI's in live and studio applications and are irreplacable piece of equipment for changing line level to Xlr level and also for avoiding hums or buzzes in signal.

Pros:

- This DI is really cheap (one of the cheapest on the market), but has never failed me.

- I love the functionality: I can split signal and record for example guitar in 3 different ways at once. Direct signal from guitar, splitted signal through Boss equalizer or multi-effect proccessor and recorded sound from microphone.

- Ground lift function can help in situations when there are problems with hum or buzz in the signal.

- They are really small and take almost no space on the stage, in studio or in case.

Cons:

- It is of the lowest price range so you can't expect too much. But however it has never failed me.

best thing that 10¤ can buy

nothing special...nothing bad...nothing extra good...cheap DI does his job like it should...even better than Behringer DI20

Unbeatable for the price

I bought these as budget boxes to for jobs with lots of DI's required, and to keep a couple in my mic kits as spares.

They're well built and sound fairly flat and neutral, they tend to need a fair bit of gain winding in, and the noise floor is a touch high, but if you've got a fairly hot input signal they're fine.

I ended up using one for half a tour last year when the SansAmp I was using failed and one of these was what I had to hand, it sounded so close to the SansAmp in the mix that I used it for the remainder of the tour.

A nice D.I. for a price of a pizza ;)

I bought this D.I. box for use with acoustic guitar in live settings. For the price it's quite feature rich, with both speaker and instrument outputs and of course also a ground switch. The sound is transparent and I'm very pleased with its performance. The build quality is top-notch and I think it should survive lots of gigging. The metal casing is sturdy and the jack and xlr connectors seem to be of a good quality.

Overall, a great product at this very low price point and I'd say one has to pay a lot more in order to perceive a great sonic difference.

Nice Passive DI

Really well working passive DI (so no power supply or phantom power needed), work well when used with active equipment in front of it (I used it with the signal from my iPod which I use a an effects unit with JamUP). I also tried splitting the sound of my passive Ukulele pickup this works but has a negative effect on the sound quality.

Better than i thought

Ok, it's not that clear but hey. Look at its price. Nice and stable construction, handy and let's you choose if ground lifted or not and instument or line input impendance switchable. Just fine. Time will show if it lasts

very simple device

does what is says on the tin really. You don't need the manual (single sheet of paper as pretty much everything you need to know is printed on the unit.)

I used it so I could connect my keyboard with standard jack line outs into my powered PA speakers without needing a mixer desk. This worked fine and brought the gain up to the requirements of the speakers.

Since then I have added 3 keyboards to my set up so have no choice but to use a mixer. Still I can use these fore DIing a bass or guitar into my record mixer. I won't need them often but when I do I will be glad I got em.

Very sturdy and require nothing to power them.

A great choice

I have used several other DI Boxes so far, but this one is the first DI Box that I personally own.

You may think that for such a price you can't expect anything special, but you would be surprised.

Of course, this is not one of the best DI boxes in the world, but surely is one of the most cost-effective.

I play in the Alternative Rock / Industrial band, and we play with a lot of background music loops, so we use Millenium DI-E for live concerts to send our loops out to the mixing console.

There are some situations where happens to appear some humming noise but fortunately there is a Ground Lift Switch. Use that switch and the noise is gone - it really works !!! :)

The sound that comes from it it's pretty clean, but Millenium DI-E maybe cuts a little bit some of the frequencies from the overall sound, but you can add those at the mixing console afterwards, so at the end the sound is very good.

This DI Box is surprisingly strong and resistant, I believe you can drive a car over it and nothing will happen to it. It seems to me that it could last for a long time, and its price is ridiculously low.
