IMP 2

These are simply the best. I've never had one go bad. I will not purchase anything else.

Whirlwind IMP 2

Great DI for the price. I own several of these and have had no problems

Awesome in a Pinch!!!

I was looking for a Direct Box for emergencies and did not consider this one at all. After calling in to my sales representative he steered me toward the Whirlwind, and I could not be any happier! You wouldn't believe how many times now I've either had a) The Guitarist's Active DI go bad or b) Their amp go and I whip out this little baby to save the day. Rugged, Reliable, and sounds great!

Quick Turnaround time and great service.

Product works great. Very easy and stress-free transaction. Product arrived very quickly. Sweetwater contacted me to let me know the product had been shipped....then again after it arrived just to make sure all was well. Great service!

It's simple and it works

I use the IMP 2 at a restaurant as an entry point for musicians to connect to the house audio system. I no longer have problems with buzz and distortion. It is also well built.

DI leveled the playing field

We installed our new Yamaha powered mixer several months ago, the goal was to get all vocals and instruments through the board. I kept struggling with the bass and acoustic guitar; burying the gains, boasting the faders just to get a blink on the input. Finally called my favorite Sweetwater guy: Kurt Martin who happens to play an acoustic himself with direct input. Immediately he advised me that both the acoustic and bass had very high signal output impedance and recommended this quick fix. Amazing what $50 does to a line level; gains are back to normal, faders are back down; and low and behold- I have a signal input. Flip of the switch on the high lift and the guitar humm disappeared. Thanks Kurt- loved it so much I bought two. i also liked the fact that it is passive; we ran out of receptacles along time ago.

Good Direct Box at a Good Price

The IMP2 is considered an industry standard direct box for good reason - It is rugged, long lasting, and does its job well.
Inside is really just a transformer and some connectors which means that this direct box doesn't have any extra parts to fail.
Highly recommended!

Works Great

The IMP2 works just like I had expected. But, no surprise from the folks at Sweetwater -- stuff is reasonably priced, delivery is fast, stuff always works, and -- best of all -- they follow up with contacts witht the customer to make sure everything is OK. Best on-line supplier that I've found.

IMP 2 is sturdy and noise-free

We are using this DI to integrate electric bass with an otherwise acoustic band, with all other instruments miced. The IMP 2 gives a proper balanced signal to the PA mixer, while passing through the signal to the onstage bass amp. Most important: it adds no noise to either signal.
If it still works this well a couple of years from now, I'll raise my rating to 5 stars.

Quality for price

Good little DI for the money. Its built like a brick so you're not going to worry about breaking it on the road.
