  kyrcnos's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Input jack 1 / 4 output for connecting instrument or preamp, a button to select the desired level. XLR output to go to a console. A button to connect or not to ground (recommended). Powered by 9V battery or phantom power (48V). A button to select the power mode.
  
  
  
  == Simple and effective!

  Utilization

  Operation is simple if you understand what's the point! The advantage of this trick is used to transform a power output jack which will have huge losses after 6m XLR for better transport of the signal. This is not a preamp, let alone an amp. If you plug a preamp or an instrument directly above and you hear the recorded sound you may be surprised! In fact he will miss the stage amplifier and the loudspeakers to the sound!
  
  
  
  Therefore reserved for those who want to dub sound in the instrument output or line out of their amp, the console is located at more than 6m and will rework their sound by incorporating taken simus HP, amp and effects.
  
  
  
  No need for manual, just understand what we do.
  
  
  
  I spent some time explaining what it is because it is not necessarily what one expects: the view of comemich look a little lower and you will understand why he was so disappointed ...

  Sound Quality

  no color, not had any problems yet!

  Overall Opinion

  I do not use it often but it has never disappointed. I especially like the little metal box emcombrant and robust, reliable connections and the fact that she is fed phatom. 9V battery drains very quickly even if you do not use it. So I'm going to put 9 because it is the only fault she has!

  comemich's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Everyone says it 's super and cheap. It is the branch and it works. So I bought and I have put a 9 volt battery. Then I have plugged my electric violin (piezo) in the INPUT. I have connected the XLR to the amp with a cable XLR / jack mic and I have pressed the buttons. Well it does not work. The signal is not amplified and the level is almost the same as when I plug in directly without the S-direct.

  Utilization

  Irrelevant

  Sound Quality

  What sound?

  Overall Opinion

  I regret my purchase

  haborym's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Here's the manual: http://www.samsontech.com/products/relatedDocs/S-direct_ownman.pdf
  
  
  
  TRS is simple, and quite enough!

  Utilization

  Simple and effective, taking into account the fact that it costs only 50
  
  
  
  one connects to, then derrire, and voila a roll!

  Sound Quality

  The gain is quite good, the sound is rather clear (not too much color), it only loses some momentum trs ...
  
  it fulfills its rle!
  
  
  
  FYI, I am bassist, so the high impdances was going well ...

  Overall Opinion

  Scne uses for, and for some RPTES large format ...
  
  it's been a month and I use it all goes rather well, it does its job!
  
  at the same time, do not expect a U5 is not the same budget either ...
  
  I'd say it's an excellent investment for a DI secour
  
  
  
  EDIT 06/09/2008: sold for way over a DI Aphex! This is a relief since I DI the amp in my head.

  papysono's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Hello
  
  
  
  Onreux few simple hardware and does not blush DI high-end prices prohibitive.

  Utilization

  Only small BMOL, the LED indicating the prsence the phantom power supply is faint, even on a console 48V, and the push level located between the two bases Jack, who both transparent can be depressed by mgarde, therefore in the position attnu without realizing it. A two-tone button would have simplified the cntrole. Otherwise robust hardware

  Sound Quality

  Neutral behavior

  Overall Opinion

  I use these boxes for 2 years without any worries
  
  Only the small problem of visibility of a push ncessite Checker per share on the said push to ensure their correct positions when the conditions of lights on scne are low.
  
  Trs good value qualitprix
  
  As for shoes "faudraiit dpenser be crazy for more."

  vinkent's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Bote of simple direct

  Utilization

  Without specific problem I do not think we can do to make easy!

  Sound Quality

  The sound is neutral and is by no color but there are much the same son.sa trs work well!

  Overall Opinion

  I bought a few days ago to the model of my group and I must say that I have for my money because that is when even 50 euros an excellent product that is very s good job and works of hell! it is more solid in a Casing in mtal easy to store! I think that made for the live bote is excellent but if you want a warmer, more nuanced in the studio better pramp good lamps. but in a home studio she did a great job!

  frase's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  DI classic.
  
  Nice finish.
  
  Connectivity standard.
  
  No rack.

  Utilization

  Config & using ultra simple.
  
  Manual in English, but very clear.
  
  A tiny error can be: The buttons are too easily accessible. Sometimes you touch it by taking the device in hand or moving.

  Sound Quality

  The sound remains largely unchanged, it is just a bit more muffled, but It's easily correctable through the equalizer.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for two weeks, but before using it live, I wanted to test it.
  
  
  
  I did try a few musicians who prefer working without ID, who do not want to hear about or have never tried. Their overall opinion was very satisfactory:
  
  
  
  Either they were totally convinced, or they accept dorénavent no problems playing through a DI rather than a direct sound recording on their 4 x 12''.
  
  
  
  I have been strongly advised by my supplier.
  
  Excellent quality / price ratio. It could pay at least double the price in a different brand, for the same quality.
  
  I intend to redeem myself a couple of DI a few times, and I'll most likely be the model.

  Rantanplan's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Direct box active (battery powered or power fantme)
  
  
  
  front: between a jack, switch to select the input level (guitar or speaker) output link to connect directly to an amp
  
  
  
  Rear: one for slecteur mode power supply (battery / power supply fantme), XLR output is connected directly to the console switch 'ground lift' to ground loops, and space for cell
  
  
  
  Team plastoc feet, solid aluminum chassis: all seems sturdy and do not take place
  
  
  
  This unit can also process signals a high level of attenuation switch thanks
  
  
  
  What more for a simple DI?

  Utilization

  Easy to use, it is empty ...
  
  One branch, we choose the level and mode of power supply, and roll my chicken ... need I say more?
  
  Manual level, it remains simple and amber, but still gives the same sample applications.

  Sound Quality

  I bought it in order to plug my electric guitar directly to my mixer (behringer mxb1002) that does not accept the high impdances in between (acute food, breath, unusable for this mani re)
  
  Obviously, with it day and night, I appeared in a console between the level lev clear and without distortion. The sound that emerges from this boiboite seems excellent.

  Overall Opinion

  I use this box for almost a year, permanently connected and powered by power supply fantme (FYI, my table DBiT of 24 v, not the 48v, which seems sufficient for its good foctionnement).
  
  
  
  It has done its job, and I dlivre the sound I expected. This is my Premire DI, I did not compare with MODELS in the same price range, but in absolute terms, it seems really solid and reliable for acceptable price.
  
  
  
  I ogled at the DI behringer beginners who were not prepared in time when I needed it quickly, and this fills my needs and MODEL expectations. I'm happy, I resign with no worries!
