Behringer DI100 Ultra-DI Box

This DI has all the desired features; i.e. ground lift, phantom power battery bypass, attenuation options, etc. So my concerns are more aesthetic than functional. The box is rather large and clunky, with stainless steel finish that reflects to much stage lighting. It lacks a clear toggle switch for bypassing the battery feature, and the attenuation is achieved via multiple button depression rather than single switch. Finally, the instructions were faulty in the English version, not simply poor translation, but incorrect labels and descriptions for the unit's features! Fortunately, the Spanish version was correct and provided enough information to effectively interpret the use of each feature. Performance seems to be fine so far, I just was frustrated it was not ... MoreThis DI has all the desired features; i.e. ground lift, phantom power battery bypass, attenuation options, etc. So my concerns are more aesthetic than functional.

This product (Ultra-DI DI100 Direct Box) is like a solid car that performs well and has the right mix of desired options. Before I used this product, my acoustic guitar always causes humming noise into the church's PA system. So, as a corrective action I reluctantly turn down my guitar's volume to reduce or eliminate the noise. The consequence is the sound of my guitar suffers. To say the least, I get frustrated when I can't hear my guitar sound as the choir sings. A couple of times, I was forced to turn down the volume so low because of the annoying hum that made our pianist/ music director give me a dirty look. So, I said I've got to do something. I purchased the Ultra-DI DI100 after diligently researching the internet for product specs, user reviews and pricing. ... MoreThis product (Ultra-DI DI100 Direct Box) is like a solid car that performs well and has the right mix of desired options.

I purchased the Ultra-DI DI100 after diligently researching the internet for product specs, user reviews and pricing. Last Sunday, I plugged in my guitar with this unit in the church's PA system and I was holding my breath to see what will happen. To my delight, no noise whatsoever was heard through the PA system even as I turned up the volume. No humming noise...what a relief! I was happy that I finally heard the beautiful bright clean sound of my acoustic-electric guitar through the church's PA system. Even our bass player sounded happy when he told me he could hear my guitar sound good. I know it's early for me to give a review about this product but I give it a Two Thumbs Up already for great features, solid/sturdy construction, great pricing...So far the manufacturer Behringer has delivered its promise. Just buy it and have fun!
