Double duty.

by Phil Gould from Central Iowa

Music Background: Live Sound Tech
I now have 3 of these boxes because they're just so versatile when I'm doing live sound. Since I run my largest sound system in stereo, I like to pan instruments like digital drums and keyboards. This... read more [+] box eliminates the need for using 2 single-channel DI boxes. Because it takes up less space on stage, I also use it for 2 mono signals, such as two guitars. I tried other boxes before settling on Samson but experienced too many failures. This box has the reliability and features I require, and at a great price too. close [-]

This thing is cheap, bullet proof and most importantly, it sounds really, really good. I generally spend a lot more on gear, but this little DI sounds great.

It's powered by the phantom power bus or a battery. close [-]

Works for me

Music Background: Hobbyist
I bought this for my home studio to boost signals from onboard electronics in acoustic guitars. It is built well and does just what it is designed to do. I'd buy it again if I needed another one.

Budget Item That Works

by Jeff Gu from Osceola, NE USA

Music Background: Active Guitarist, Sound Reinforcement
Forty bucks for an active DI of this quality is a bargain. I initially needed one to connect my drum machine into my digital mixer, and it works perfectly for this. It works well for numerous other pu... read more [+]rposes around the home studio and for live sound reinforcement, too. I'll have to pick up a couple more of these, as Samson got this one right.

Metal enclosure with some weight to it, solid connectors and switches, ground lift. This is not a cheesy, plastic product.

My one complaint is the lack of a DC input jack. 48V isn't always available on line level mixer inputs, and batteries aren't always practical. close [-]
