Product Description
A high-quality, passive direct box that uses 2 proprietary custom-made transformers, one for each channel, for both impedance conversion and isolation. Linear from 20Hz-18kHz, with low distortion and virtually zero phase distortion makes it perfect for live or studio performances. Because of the transformer isolation, problems such as hum and buzz caused by ground loops are eliminated, making it very easy and hassle-free to use. Features include 1/4" thru/input, -15dB pad, and ground lift protected from damage by a protective front panel. Heavy-duty construction, baked enamel finish, and 600ohm balanced output. 3" x 5"..

What's even better is that everything about this DI box just works. The sound quality is fantastic and it does exactly what it's supposed to do - take an unbalanced, high-impedance signal and convert it to a balanced, low-impedance signal. I've used it for everything from recording to live gigs, and it's always performed flawlessly.
But what really sets this DI box apart is its durability. It's probably the best in the industry, and I've seen firsthand just how tough it can be. It's been dropped, and stepped on, but it still keeps on working like a champ.
Overall, if you're in need of a DI box that's incredibly durable and reliable, this is definitely the one to go for. It's built to last, sounds great, and just does what it's supposed to do. Highly recommended!
Additionally, there was this TERRIBLE BUZZ in the speakers. NO matter what volume level you put the drum kit on, the buzz was still there (Same level). When we pulled the drum volume down on the mixing board, we could reduce the volume of the buzz, but not eliminate it altogether, and then, all the other instruments/vocals were overpowering the drums.
So i did some research and concluded that we must be experiencing a "Ground Loop". After reading reviews on this product, i though i would give it a try. I installed this between the drum kit and the snake. When i powered on the sound system, i was shocked that there was NO SOUND. No buzz, no hum, no noise of any kind. it didn't even sound like i had turned anything on. Our sound system has NEVER been that quiet, even before the remodel. My first thought was "Man, this thing isn't working, now i have NO sound". As i walked toward the box to start trouble shooting, it occurred to me that i should at least TEST the drums first. Guess what, they WORKED. The box was just THAT GOOD. Praise God. Additionally, this also seemed to fix the Popping / Clipping volume issue we had previously as i can now put the drums back on the default volume level of 13 with no issues.
In our setup, we have multiple outputs coming from a MOTU 828mk3 rackmount sound card and use these to convert to XLR, remove hum, and protect the audio device from any accidental phantom power from the mixing desk.
While everything routes through the sound card (so that's your true source), we essentially have keyboards, guitars, vocals, and our backing tracks all coming through these. Never heard anyone complain about tone.
The sound guys at the desk are always happy to see us roll up with our own DI's. Normally they have 1 or 2 if you are lucky at a small club.
Note: I don't have experience with any other DI because every review I read said to go with these. I have no reason to look any further.
Don't take a chance on other brands or knockoffs. Get Radials.
If you have even the slightest inkling that you may want two DI boxes, this is hands down the best option. It's cheaper than two single units, and the form factor is rack-mount friendly (radial makes their own racks for this form factor, but not for the smaller units).
