Description
Noise-free and very affordable!
The Radial ProDI Passive Direct Box is a high-quality, passive direct box that employs a proprietary transformer for both impedance conversion and isolation. Linear from 20Hz-18kHz, with low distortion and virtually zero phase distortion makes it perfect for live or studio performances. Because of the transformer isolation, problems such as hum and buzz caused by ground loops are eliminated, making it very easy and hassle-free to use. The Radial ProDI features 1/4" thru/input, -15dB pad, and ground lift protected from damage by a protective front panel. Heavy-duty construction, baked enamel finish, and 600-ohm balanced output. 2-1/2" x 4-1/4".

Great Transparent DI
I am new when it comes to audio production, so I got the first interface I heard of which is the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2. It's not bad, but even in its second generation, it has issues with the output of my passive pickups, even though they are not super high output. So I picked this up from a local guitar store and was blown away by how transparent it was. It fixed my attenuation issues and now allows me to adjust the gain on my interface without turning it close to 0. I have also heard great things about it for those who tour, and it is heavy. I am pretty sure I could drop this thing off a building and it would be fine. So I highly recommend it.
