UTILIZATION

Not rocket science in using an Active DI Box! The manual is simple and concise, but adequate, with a description of the specifications.

SOUND QUALITY

I did not notice any particular color to use, particular impact or low-cut filter on the sound quality.

I use it in output pedalboard for electric guitar, before attacking the sound. This is a high quality pedalboard.

My electric guitars are, among others, an Ibanez AK95 and ESP Forest GT Standard: typed and sounds very different!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 7 months.

I have nothing negative to say: it is his job and forget. I did not notice any sound deterioration. I use it exclusively Phantom Power and can not give any indication of the duration of the 9v battery.

Otherwise, I like the look and quality of workmanship. But its shape is not very practical for installation on a pedalboard.

I see no reason not to repeat that choice! Especially since the price is in the middle of DI Box input range. I'll also get one second shortly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it rarely, only when I play without an amp plugged into a table without Hi-Z input.
Utilié ever on stage, but it is always in my bag in case my amp has a problem.
To use it on stage, a rubber boot and a fastening system seem necessary.
Nice little device, convenient and discreet.

connectors: XLR, jack
effects, or types of effects: no

UTILIZATION

Simple to implement

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the instrument is not correctly reproduced.

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it: 1 day
Have you tried many other models before buying: yes
What is so special that you love the most, the least: filter and attenuator of very poor quality.
How would you rate the quality / price: far too expensive ... This is a question whether the manufacturer has tested its matéreil !!!!!!!!!
