Millenium DI-E Reviews

ground loop

Just bought a pair to see if it's gonna help me out with ground loop issue I had with my keyboard and it did work and sound remained the same.

Cheap and does it´s job

I was surprised on how good this is for the price. Nice if you wanna try these out and don´t wanna spend a lot of money until you know what you want/need with these.

Millenium DI-E / DI bargain!

Its the best product for the cost! it does its job as described! I instantly bought 2 of them. Comes in robust housing with quality connectors! ( no lose ones but nice built for stage or studio use) 5/5 !

Passive DI (no batteries).

I got tired of paying big money for short lived 9 volt batteries. This is my answer to the problem.

OK, we lose 1/8th turn on the gain knob at the mixing desk compared to an active (battery) DI, but we gain a very clean sound & way more power handling before distortion starts.

Now I carry no batteries, so when others in the band come asking for them, I can say no.

Very handy reliable tool to keep around. This is great value for money. This very robust unit can be thrown into a gear bag and be kicked around stage and still be fully operational. I bought this product five years ago. I have done many gigs with this using it to hook up basses and synths to the PA system.

The sound quality is very good.

I did not expect the unit to last very long at all but it has really proven itself over the past five years and has never given me any problems. I would recommend this product to anyone on a tight budget and for gigging musicians.

Great little unit

I use this DI for home studio work, mainly for taking a clean bass signal before the amp. It sounds way better than a cheap bass amp's built in DI and about as good as plugging in to the Hi-Z inputs on my interface.

It is as well featured as it needs to be with a handy ground lift function. One very useful thing to note is that, seeing as it is a passive circuit, it can be used in reverse configuration (Balanced signal going into the output, to unbalanced Hi-Z coming out the input).

Tldr: basically it can be used as a Re-amp box in a pinch! It will not match the instrument impedance as well as a dedicated reamp box ...but it will do the job!

The sound is clean and the source is left largely untouched.

Build quality is superb I could happily run over it with my car!

All in all a great unit for the price, if I were a live engineer I would much rather this to an active DI and having to worry about batteries, phantom power or power supplies.

Nice inexpesive D.I. Box

This D.I. Box does exactly what is advertised. The ground lift doesn't cancel out all ground hum in some cases but for the price they are well worth having a few in the kit bag.

Decent

good DI for the price.

Does the job

Great value for the price. It's sturdy and well built. No fancy features but it does what it's expected to do and doesn't add any noise to the circuit. Recommended.

Transparent!

We've used this passive DI box at a number of gigs now. It has always been reliable and incredibly transparent. Perhaps the best features are obvious: changing an unbalanced TRS input into a balanced XLR output; but we have also found ourselves thankful that it has ground-lift functionality too - an excellent addition to get rid of hum. We haven't yet used the speaker functionality (it can be used as a speaker DI) but I'm confident that when we do, this unit will deliver. It's also built to a high standard and is just heavy enough to feel solid and road worthy. Highly recommended.

Decent DI box with small form factor

I am yet to run into any problems with this di. It is cheap as hell, which means i dont mind throwing it around. It does what it's supposed too, balances the signal, and manages to star super small.

I carry two of these around with me at all times as you never know when you will need another DI. I used to carry two much larger di's, but these allow me to carry more mics which is great.

Only thing that you miss out on from the small form factor is that you cant run them battery powered, but this is a feature i never use on my larger ones as every desk has phantom these days.

To sum up: Killer little di's for cheap.

Function on a budget

Really great price for a modest DI box. I have used it to pretty good effect in reverse to reamp DI'd guitar signals. It won't beat some of the more expensive DIs or reamp boxes but at this price it is useful to have a couple of these lying around.

Bargain DI

I bought this as a spare/backup DI for when certain band members forget to bring theirs! So far, so good and no problems. The unit is very robust and so it is great on-stage and a steal at the price.

Why pay more?

This is an excellent DI box, built on the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle.

I have been using these for 8 years, both live and in the studio.

They do exactly what is required with no fuss at a great price.

open mic box

This little guy sits on my stage every week at my open mic and is kicked about, abused and mistreated. Its sturdy, you will have to try to break it. Connectors are good and has a yrs out and an xlr out as well.

i use it for acoustic guitars and i can here very little coloration and the signal is nice and clear into the desk.

A good DI box

Decent job for the money

Obviously the best thing about this unit is the price, coming in at under 10 euros. I've been using it on keyboard gigs and it's generally reliable. There have been a few occasions where hum has been present though (not cable related). If you just need something to get the job done then this is for you.

Melleninum DI

Good passive DI box perfect for home use or small gigs. Not recommended for pro recording use (you wouldn't find these in a studio) still a good very durable DI and a perfect back up for your rig.

Wouldn't buy again!..

Features: I wasn't able to split the signal into 2 outputs, which is the whole part of a D.I box! for some reason it wouldn't work.

Sound: I just used it to balance the signal in the end but I've noticed recently that it's been adding this high pitch hiss so I've had to stop using it!

I wouldn't buy again!

An honest no nonsence DI box

I purchased my first DI-E just over 2 years ago to enable me to run a semi acoustic guitar back through a 30m snake to our mixing desk to eliminate ground hum, it did the job, with little or no drop in signal quality. there is also no messing with batteries or phantom power, just plug and play. I have since purchased 10 of these units. Not one of them have let me down.

I also use two DI-E's to eliminate mains hum and hard disk noise in the studio, again with n problems

A great little unit and at this price for live work you can not go wrong.

Ideal DI box for acoustic guitar

I have two of these DI boxes. One I run an acoustic guitar straight to the desk and the other runs an emulated line out from my guitar amp. I've also used it for keyboards.

Its all easy to use straight out of the pack. I've had 3 different makes of these and they all pretty much achieve the same result. However, this one is half the price!
