All user reviews of 4/5 for the Behringer Ultra-G GI100

This is a DI, so there is a transformer, the same as in the DI100 the same manufacturer. To his sister added a 4x12 analog simulation of HP, and a nice box a red anodized aluminum.

UTILIZATION

I use this ID as follows: the speaker output of my tube amp 4W is connected to the input of the DI, the link turns out to be in the HP is in a resistance of 25W 16Ohms (loadbox, but cheaper!). In 4W, both CSA (attenuation) are pressed. The balanced output is directly connected to my preamp Roland Quad-Capture.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is clear on most of the spectrum, apart from a slump and sub bass. The concern is relative because easily corrected with a slight EQ (of around 4-5dB more about the bass in low-shelve) that goes well (which proves that the frequencies are there, but farther away than the other ).

The simulation HP, I've never been a fan of HP simus analog, although neutral nor convincing. Compared to a convolution simulation, for sure, it is worth nothing. I guess in troubleshooting on a resume direct sound, it can do a clean sound.

OVERALL OPINION

The design is robust and downright fun. The box is the most beautiful effect in a home studio !

It does its job with a slight weakness in the bass. I compared with SCV, which colors the sound quite a bit (but in a good way), it is very decent, especially considering the price. In short, I am very satisfied with this ID, although I might have to settle for the DI100 (gray).

- How long have you use it?
24 hours
- What is so special that you love the most, least?
most: its price, the less background noise when the simulation is on HP,
other than that without the simulation of HP it leaves really pass the signal without distorting it too, even in this severe bumps well. I think we can compensate for the hiss of the simulation by equalizing the acute HP, but I think the noise level becomes negligible when the branch on the HP output of a guitar amp. so I'm happy.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I had a red box in the hands of two years. IM 100 is a little bigger is good, bigger for less ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?
for 35 euros it's good work!

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yes, because there's no way to have something else for at least 3 times more expensive, against the background it would spoil a bit for recording, but I think there's no live for the better.

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

DI active phantom powered or battery 9V. Ground lift, guitar simulator HP (4x12 ha, ha), two-20db pad cumulative, direct output. It seems that we can send an output of 3000w amp. The cow!
Unable to stack or to combine. The case is strong.

UTILIZATION

When we know the role of DI, there are no worries. The record is there to highlight the technical aspects and types of possible connections, including an insert between a guitar amp and HP to move a microphone.
You want the simulation, you press the button. You shall not want, you press it.

SOUND QUALITY

DI used without the simulation is more than correct and none of the users I plugged (including me) did find bad.
I use it mainly for my preamp output congigurations guitar with the simulation engaged and I'm very satisfied. The color of the simulation is clean, and the sound is quite organic.
on the other hand, it blows a little. We must send a line level and does not engage the pads to keep an acceptable signal to noise ratio.
In blind-blind test, my guinea pigs are in agreement with me that it sounds better than the Red Box and catch microphone in rooms with sound doubtful.
Live is better than an old sm57 who turned 15 years old loose in a bag, and whose investment is an art that is not accessible to everyone. No repisse or feedback, and we can get the sound at home, we find almost everywhere.
I have not tried the Palmer (I long)

OVERALL OPINION

DI without good story and very correct speaker simulation. Obviously, it's worse than taking real studio with a good mic and a good sound engineer, but it will deceive many people. And not being a top musician and that some benefits are at the limit of DIY, I restarted with for not having any surprises. All those I have suggested that solutions were also satisfied with the test.
Too bad it's blowing a little (but still far less than most guitar amps) with the simulation running.
At this price, I necessarily valid. I have two.

The Behringer Ultra-G GI100 is a direct input box. It has a 1/4 inch input for your instrument and an XLR output to send a microphone cable to your audio interface or preamp. I also has options for cabinet simulation and a pad. It is built sturdy and would be hard to break the outside casing. It is not rackable, as it is a direct box.

UTILIZATION

This DI box is extremely easy to set up and to use. It won't color your sound and reproduces your direct signal well, whether your using guitar, bass guitar, or keyboards. You can use the button options as you wish for certain situations. I never looked at the manual as this is pretty easy to figure out how to use.

SOUND QUALITY

The direct box doesn't have the cleaning direct sound I have heard, but it won't color the sound and reproduces a good signal. I have used this mostly with bass guitar and keyboards, but have also used it with electric guitar. It works well for all of these applications because it gives a pretty accurate sound. My complaint about the sound would be that it is a little dull and isn't as bright or vibrant sounding as I would like it to be.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had ehringer Ultra-G GI100 direct input box for about four years. It is a nice option to use when I need to record a few direct signals at once. I have a Countryman DI box that is my go to DI box and use it when I only have one direct signal. This provides me with a cheap option to capture a direct signal that is fine for demoing stuff and for if you need a few direct boxes at once, as its cheap. While Behringer doesn't have the best reputation, and this isn't the best DI box I've used, its extremely cheap price makes it attractive and worth checking out.
