I have found this to be a really great addition to my little home studio. It allows me to plug in my guitar, send a nice and clear signal to my audio interface, and also route the same signal over to my amp on the other side of the room. The reason this is so useful for me is that I have always been very sensitive to audio latency, and while I can get latency to a reasonable spot when trying to track with VST plugins, it's always noticeable to me. With this, I don't even worry about getting a good monitor latency/tone on the PC side, and instead can just track and listen to myself through my actual amp, all while still tracking a clean signal and apply effects after the fact.It also does an excellent job of keeping noise at a minimum, so I am getting a nice and clean signal into my interface, whether I am using one of my guitars with active pickups, humbuckers, or triple coil pickups.Build quality is good as well: I am pretty confident this will hold up in both a studio environment, and I think it would hold up well in a live environment as well: I would totally take this thing gigging with me if I needed to (I just don't play live much anymore).This is a great little tool for playing live or to have in your home studio: it adds a great deal of versatility for me, the sound is good, and it's pretty cheap. Pretty easy to recommend this one.

We were just using it to run from a bass to a mixer but with the input and outputs you could do a few different things with it. Seems like a nice piece of gear.

This PSG Audio DI box is simple in it's construction and use, but it gets the job done for a reasonable price.The DI box is an all metal case with what appears to be metal and plastic components for the jacks. The housing seems durable and could probably take a beating being tossed in gig bags. This is a passive DI box, so it won't do anything to boost your gain with phantom power, but it does it's job. In general, you could probably use this to convert most unbalanced 1/4" cables (TS) into a balanced signal that runs through an XLR cable. It works for plugging an electric guitar into the box and then connecting this DI box to a mixing board or multitrack recorder's XLR input. I didn't notice the box introducing any new line hum, but it's not a noise gate. So if you have a source with a low level noisy background, that can still get pushed through to your mixing board or multitracker. However, you shouldn't introduce new line hum if you have a long XLR cable run between this thing and the mixer. You can attenuate the signal with the selectable dB switch on the side and it also offers a ground lift if you need it for your signal. If you want, you can also send out a second, simultaneous unbalanced signal out of the 1/4" output jack too, so the box can also work as a sound splitter of sorts if you need that in your chain. That's a nice bonus.Overall, this simple, passive DI box gets the job done for my needs. If you know that a passive box like this is all that you need, you'll probably be 5-star happy with it for the price.

Pretty nice DI box. It does exactly what it is designed to do and it does it well. I put it through several situations and it came out perfect. Very low noise and matched to the instrument you are using. Overall, I think this is great and it is one of those tools you really need.

I can confirm that this is a noise-free DI and that the attenuation switch definitely cuts it, though I don't have the equipment to confirm that it was actually attenuating -20dB and -40dB. With the output from an 18V active pre-amp in my bass, -20dB was enough to reduce it to a whisper, and -40dB was totally gone. So whatever loud signal you want to plug in, this will probably attenuate.I haven't had a situation where I needed the Ground Lift yet, but they usually work fine when you need them.The parallel out part also works well, so you could definitely use this in a situation where you want to route one signal to the board, and the other to an on-stage amplifier that didn't have its own Direct Out. Or to your own headphone amp, maybe? I dunno. I've never needed this before, but now that I have it I bet I'll find a time to use it.Construction is good, though the jacks are plastic with metal connectors inside, which saves a teensy bit on cost but it could make it a bit less durable or easy to clean with contact cleaner one day if this survives long enough to need that. Good piece of gear for the price.

Functioned exactly as a DI should without noise. As a gigging musician that's pretty important to me. The ground lift and variable attenuation is a nice addition and the fact that it's a dual unit makes it pretty impressive. If you need one then you already know what this is, it's a good one.

This box does the job of a direct adapter, but also gives you the option to divert the signal and attenuate it without having to resort to other products that complicate the signal chain. It feels decently well made, though the jacks are made of plastic so I'd be concerned about the durability of those. I'm taking a star off because metal jacks are so ubiquitous that it's strange not to include them at this price point. I used this to send my guitar signal to my audio interface. It doesn't do anything to eliminate the 60 cycle hum, so I'm not sure what it means by hum eliminator. I guess the hum does go away when you use the attenuator switch, but the signal itself also goes down so the hum comes back when you turn the gain back up after. The ground switch also introduces a loud 60 cycle hum to the signal (even when I'm using humbucking pickups) when it's "on" so I'm not sure what it's used for. If you're still here, you either already know what you need this DI box for or you're just as clueless as I am and are better off using a simple adapter plug or cable.
