Passive Di direct box 1/4" instrument to balanced & unbalanced XLR

works very well

First off, let me say this is a low cost Chinese made passive DI. If you are expecting Countryman or Radial, you're in the wrong listing. However, having said this, this is a very good unit in its class. I've been a professional theatre sound guy for over 20 years and bought one of these for a light-duty additional to my personal inventory. PROS: Heavy, well fitted, sturdy metal housing, with screw assembly (you CAN get inside!) Transformer isolated, appears to be the proper impedance conversion Paralleled 1/4" jacks (means you can link out to an instrument amp, or Y both stereo channels together) Simple switched resistive attenuator to allow level correction Ground Lift switch CONS: Cheap plastic jacks - not sure how well they'll stand up Jacks are mounted directly to internal PC board - may be a pain to replace All in all, hard to beat for the money for light or intermittent use.

This is a great device and also has a low price. I could use this device exactly the way I wanted to. Which is to Plug in the speaker output of a 5 watt tube amp and get the sound of both the preamp tube AND the output tube. I have the attenuator at 20db so that I can take the the signal into a mixer and/or a USB audio interface without fear of blowing everything up. The Pyle has the feature of the 20db attenuator but the signal is all garbled at that setting. Finally, I can do what I intended! Thank you.

Worked like a dream in a pinch. I am keeping an eye out for how it performs over time.

I use this for playing live. We use it either for acoustic guitar to PA or running the electronic drums from the 1/4" out to this DI to the PA. I love passive DI boxes and this works as well as any of the more expensive DI's I have used in the past.

Todo funciona ok.

Indestructible, quiet, and small enough to pile in a mic case. Out of the 7 my church purchased, 1 failed after a year of abuse but was easily fixable. Definately well worth the money. Especially if you need several DIs at once with a small budget.

I was pleasantly surprised. I bought this as a DI for a keyboard at my church. I wasn’t expecting much. I thought that I might have ground issues. Not so. These performed very well. The sound reproduction is on point. No distortion. No grounding issues. Just solid performance. The most wonderful thing is the low price. Very great value!
