Use the DI the Pros Choose!

Here's the DI you'll find wherever pros are using them! Whirlwind built the IMP 2 direct box to give you ultra-reliable performance, day in and day out. If you're running live sound, engineering a studio session, or making sure your rig is ready for the stage, then you need this DI! The IMP 2 converts a line- or instrument-level unbalanced signal to a low-impedance, mic-level balanced signal, so you know you're getting what you need from the stage or the recording room into the mixer or interface. This box is built road-tough, so you know it's with you for the long haul!

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Beast will handle anything

I have had this direct box for at least 10 years, it's been tossed around, stepped on, rolled over by cases and sat in a trailer that was overwhelmingly moist for Long periods of time and still works like it's brand spanking new with cosmetic damage lol

Imp 2

Wonderful product. Super long lasting.

The Whirlwind Tank

Basically the industry standard DI box. Does it's job, and does it well. I've run acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, keyboards, and even a violin through the IMP 2… it always performs as intended and provides a clear and balanced signal to the board. Construction is top notch and built with quality components. A must have for any gigging musician.
