Professional 2-Channel DI-Box/Splitter

Show full description »

The Ultra-DI DI20 is an innovative active 2-channel DI-box/splitter that takes the signal directly from an unbalanced high-impedance output—like an electric guitar—and feeds it directly into a mixing console or recorder. It is ideally suited to augment the traveling gear of musicians (especially guitar/bass players) as well as live/studio/broadcast engineers, installation contractors and studios/live event engineers. The DI20 converts 2 separate unbalanced 1/4" jack inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs. There is a 2-channel/link mode for flexible usage as mono, 2-channel or splitter box. In link mode, channel 1 can be split up into 2 balanced XLR connectors plus 1 unbalanced 1/4" jack connector. Switchable input attenuation in 3 ranges allows input levels of up to +48 dBu, while a ground lift switch eliminates typical ground loop problems. It operates either by using a 9 V battery or by using 48 V phantom power. The whole package is enclosed in an ultra compact, road-suitable and extremely rugged housing.

Features

  • Converts 2 separate unbalanced 1/4" TRS line inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs
  • Ultra-flexible: mono, 2-channel or stereo DI box operation with switchable link mode
  • Additional split mode (channel 1 assigns the signal to both XLR outputs)
  • Phantom or 9 V battery powered
  • Switchable input attenuation allows connection to outputs with up to 3,000 Watts
  • Input 2 usable as channel 1 link output (additional to XLR output)
  • Ground lift switch eliminates typical ground loop problems
  • Ultra-compact, road-suitable housing
  • High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life and durability

Behringer Ultra-DI DI20 Reviews

3/10

Noisy

— Marco March 9, 2010

The product looks robust and the switches work well, better than buttons in my opinion.
However I used it to plug the output of my PC\'s sound card (two unbalanced channels) to the balanced XLR input of two active speakers, and the hiss isn\'t reduced at all. It just doesn\'t do the job.

versatile, but complicated

— john March 20, 2008

Behringer's usual problem is that they try to cram too much into one small box - and this is no exception. For somebody that's familiar with it, this is a very useful tool, providing two separate channels for stereo instruments like keyboards - or it can be used as a single DI with loop through, allowing a local monitor. It does all this very well, and it's presented in a tidy aluminium box with good quality connectors and all the appropriate switches. It's active (no problems with loop systems then) and can be powered by 9v battery or phantom power. The problem I have is that most of the people I work with don't want to know how it works - and they don't want to use the Ultra in case they plug something into the wrong hole or move the wrong switch and blow something up.

Behringer ULTRA-DI DI20

— Richard Ash March 15, 2006

A very nice idea, but not quite as well executed as might be wished. The idea of a palm sized box that will direct inject two signals, or can be used to split a single signal to multiple places is great, and in general the DI120 lives up to the promise. It's rugged, easy to use, and the slide pattern switches are less prone to getting knocked than push buttons. Phantom power works well, so you don't need to worry about battery power unless your inputs lack phantom. Usefully, the On LED illuminates continuously when on Phantom power, but flashes on battery to reduce the drain.

Slightly less convenient is having only one attenuator switch for both channels and two lots of connector labeling for splitter and dual channel modes. The real let--down, however, is the sound quailty. If you use them as instrument-level DI boxes with passive pickups you will get a noticeable level of hiss, even on live rigs, which becomes really annoying in a recording situation. It's a shame, because otherwise it's an excellent and very afordable product.
