This sturdy well made american design and active DI box actually surprises me, how good it is for the money invested. I find it in some areas on par with expensier DI boxes and it is almost equal in design and sound compared to boxes costing more, however things dont grow into heaven, and i find the sound a little bit hars sometimes lacking a little dynamic as well.I also like that you can both phantom power it a put a 9 Volt battery inside the Box.All in all together, it is a best buy product regarding sound and quality, and very well made.
