Behringer Di DI100 DiBoxe is really good, love the box. box is sturdy and ruggested, rubber corners does help it not move around. Used it for church, well impressed for it. Has multiple inuts and outputs, XLR & Jack input, Link output and xlr Output. Require 9v Battery, easy to install. Blinking LED to indicate it is on. reduced groundloops and produces great sound outputs.. I ended up getting another one. i run a Small AV business and im so pleased i will be buying severl more in near future. Will Buy another 4 More soon for Band setup

This is a great DI box very sturdy and works with phantom power so no need for a battery.

Decent unit. Does exactly what I need in getting my bass into the desk from my wireless pack. Has a ground lift button, and 2 buttons to attenuate the signal if its too hot. Works off phantom power from the desk which is very useful. Heavy and built like a tank.

I never felt the need for a DI Box before, but persuaded by fellow musicians, I felt I should purchase one for the hell of it, so here I am a newly discovered convert. So what did I learn? Well my Fender Stratocaster is much brighter and I mean the strings come to life with much more expression. The Guitar needs much less volume with a stronger signal to the amp. So, why didn't I discover this a long time ago? A great value for money and inexpensive addition to any Guitarist or Bass player. Fender is normally quiet at lower volume and this little DI Box brings it to life from a dwarf to a Giant! So watch out fellow pickers, when my Guitar comes to town it will compete with the best of you. Just remember to include a 9v Battery for normal power and to save confusion it's Jack In to DI Box and XLR Out to Amp.

Good product and good price but took AGES to get here

Bomb proof construction! Great that it can run off phantom power and has ground lift feature. Works well. Can't fault it.

DI boxes (I think it stands for Direct Inject, but I've also heard them called Direct Input) allow an unbalanced signal or any impedence that may be coming from an instrument, a microphone or another audio source, to be converted to a balanced microphone-level signal suitable for your mixing desk. This Behringer DI Box is fairly large (perhaps 6 inches square and three inches deep) in a rugged steelcase with outsized rubber bumpers. Its design gives you confidence that it will just work, and indeed it does, taking its power from the mixing desk (you can add a PP9 9 Volt battery if you wish, but it shouldn't be needed). The inputs are quarter inch jack or XLR (note that these are unbalanced, so only one signal pin is connected - if you have a balanced audio source, like most microphones, you don't need a DI Box). There's a pass through quarter inch jack, so you can also plug into a monitor amp or something similar. There are also two attenuator buttons, that drop the signal level by -20 dB or -40dB. On the back there's the balanced XLR output and a "ground lift" button, which can eliminate buzz and hum if you have two grounding points in circuit. There's also the door to the battery compartment, a red LED to show you the device is receiving phantom power from the mixing desk, and another unlabelled button that the instruction leaflet claims to be a speaker cabinet simulator. It is nothing of the sort - the leaflet is wrong. It's the on-off power button for the internal battery. I haven't tried using that one. If you want cabinet effects, try the Behringer Ultra-G instead. The idea is that you have the DI Box (or boxes - I use two) on stage or in the performance area, and the balanced XLR cable back to the mixing desk can be as long as you like, within reason, as having a positive and negative signal means that any induced interference cancels out, giving a nice clean signal at the desk. The boxes stack nicely - they don't clip together, but they rest on top of each other quite comfortably. The Behringer DI Boxes (this one and the Ultra-G) are way more stylish than most of the alternatives. Behringer also does a 2-channel stereo box, the DI20, but I like the look and feel of this one so much more, and I want the flexibility to place them separately, so I prefer to have two DI 100s. I'd hesitate to use this DI Bix if you don't have phantom power - what if the battery runs out mid-performance? Other than that, they're a great choice.

Really nice, transparent signal. Great for recording hot guitar signals into my audio interface. The "link" option also allows you to monitor or record your guitar signal through an amp. For the price, you really can't go wrong. It's a very useful tool for the home studio.
