Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Behringer Ultra Di Pro DI800.

Use cases and applications

  • Recording multiple guitar signals can be achieved using the DI800's "link" feature, allowing for a dry, pedalboard, and amp signal setup.

    Source
  • Reamping is feasible with the DI800, capturing both dry and post-pedalboard signals for flexibility in mixing.

    Source
  • For live looping, synths and drum machines can route through the DI800 to a Behringer line mixer, feeding into a Boss RC-600.

    Source
  • The DI800 is particularly useful for keyboard and synth players with large rigs, allowing them to manage multiple inputs efficiently in a live setup.

    Source
  • Bands benefit from using the DI800 to consolidate all bass, keys, and playback tracks into a single loom, simplifying stage setup.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Radial DI boxes like J48 or JDI are recommended over the Behringer for superior build quality and sound fidelity.

    Source
  • The Countryman Type 85 is noted for handling amplified inputs, similar to the DI800, broadening its application for various live and studio scenarios.

    Source

User experience

  • Carrying multiple signal versions may lead to phase issues; users recommend focusing on capturing a dry and an amp-sourced track only.

    Source
  • Users create compact setups by trimming a Hosa snake to shorter lengths and integrating with devices like the HX Stomp and RC-600 looper in a single rack case.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Modifying the DI800's XLR outputs to TRS may conflict with PCB mount requirements; a Hosa 8ch XLR to TRS fan snake is recommended instead.

Great

This D.I. was very worth buying. I use it to balance in-balanced sources and to convert 1''4 cables to XLR when there's only the option of XLR on a PA system/Snake. great value for money
