Converts 2 separate unbalanced 1/4" jack inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs.

The innovative, active 2-channel Behringer DI20 Ultra DI 2-Channel Active DI Box/Splitter takes the signal directly from an unbalanced high-impedance output--like an electric guitar--and feeds it directly into a mixing console or recorder. It is ideally suited to augment the traveling gear of musicians (especially guitar/bass players) as well as live/studio/broadcast engineers, installation contractors, and studios/live event engineers. The DI20 converts 2 separate unbalanced 1/4" jack inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs. There is a 2-channel/link mode for flexible use as mono, 2-channel, or splitter box. In link mode, channel 1 can be split up into 2 balanced XLR connectors plus one unbalanced 1/4" jack connector. Switchable input attenuation in 3 ranges allows input levels of up to +48dBu, while a ground lift switch eliminates typical ground loop problems. Operates on 9V battery or 48V phantom power. Ultracompact rugged housing.

Great lil DI for the money. I love the fact that it is active. Works best on a stereo Keyboard signal. No Problems with it at all. I was definately designed for the stero Keyboard signal.

cheap, active, flexible

Features:

Awesome little box for single inputs.  We use it mainly for unbalanced-balanced conversion, and having an active circuit and phantom power is a great benefit.  Lots of flexibility for bridging, padding, and ground lift.

Quality:

Other people have noted that it's really not a two-input box, there's too much crosstalk.  And it might be a little more fragile than some other DI's - however, we used ours 3-4 years, ~15 gigs a year, before one of the 1/4 jacks broke.  Rather than fix it, we'll just replace it.

Value:

Definitely a steal at the price offered when this review was written, especially with free shipping.

Overall:

My advice is, keep a couple of these in your back pocket.

I've had this unit for a year and bought it before reading the reviews...after reading them I started to worry.  Turns out, I had nothing to be concerned with.  This DI rocks!  I got the DI so that I could split the audio from my laptop (used for electronic sound sources) between the FOH mixer and my monitor mixer during live shows and also for practicing at home, and it works like a champ...clean and quiet.  The only time I've had audio issues is when I had to replace the laptop's power supply temporarily with a not quite right spare power supply...the correct replacement solved the issue.  Battery lasts for a long time (I don't use the phantom power on the DI).  I haven't replaced the battery yet, and I've left it on overnight several times.  If used properly (read the manual) and the source has a good, clean power source, there should be no issues with the DI.

If you want this product to work you nned a box for each instument. Have not tried to use as a splitter but the two channel mode is not that great. Like I said one signal per box and it works great.

Direct Box for Limited Use

Overall:
I have four of these units, some travel with a group, others are for local stage.  We've had them two years and found that the balanced line out pins seem to pull out. Unfortunately the warranty didn't cover replacement. Also have had some crosstalk between channels.  Did like the price and they work when passive units fail.  Generally a better idea to buy separate units for each instrument.
