Mackie stereo di
Using this to ground lift the main pa signal at my church and it has been flawless for years now. Absolutely recommend.
Music background: Guitarist, foh engineer
Great for Synths
I bought 2 of these for 2 keyboards to route for both recording and rehearsal use. They sound great and quiet, and I also pull one out as needed to record my active basses. Really well built. Recommended.
