Description

Edit description

The Behringer ULTRA-DI DI20 is the versatile sidekick every musician needs in their gear arsenal. Whether you're an on-the-go guitarist or a studio-bound keyboardist, this active 2-channel DI box transforms your sound with precision and adaptability. It's more than just a direct injection box; it's a multi-talented performer that converts two separate unbalanced 1/4" TRS lines into two balanced XLR outputs, offering seamless integration into any setup.

With its intuitive 2-channel/link mode, the DI20 can handle mono, stereo, or split-signals with ease, feeding them to separate amps or recording systems. The robust ground-lift switch and 3-position input attenuator handle unruly signals with finesse, accommodating input levels up to +48 dBu and eliminating those pesky ground loops. Power it with a 9V battery or rely on phantom power for uninterrupted performance.

Built for the road with its ultra-rugged metal housing, the DI20 is as durable as it is compact, making it an essential companion for both live and studio sessions. Whether you're plugging into a mixer or connecting directly to a high-wattage speaker output, the Behringer ULTRA-DI DI20 ensures your signal is always clear, balanced, and ready to shine.

Converts 2 unbalanced 1/4" TRS line inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs
