## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the radial prod2 passive 2 channel direct box???**
A: Radial is known for making great Active DI Boxes. For Passive, Countryman 85 is standard. I own a dozen of Art DI boxes both passive and active. For the price, they are great. Low noise and lots of functionality

**Q: Does this equalize sound levels?  i want movies/music to be at the same db level what cables and connectors are needed to work with my tv, ipad, pc?**
A: This device grounds an ungrounded line (guitar cable) and outputs a grounded line (xlr cable). It does not affect volume/sound levels.  It seems that you need a mixer.  A mixer brings various sound inputs together and outputs one sound mix.  Each input needs a channel.  You will need to determine how many inputs you want at one time and buy a mixer with sufficient input channels.  You will adjust the volume of each channel to mix the volume for equal or unequal volumes.  Mixer inputs will be either guitar style or mic (xlr) style.  You will need to research the cable connectors you need for the various devices.  Consider a Yamaha MG6 mixer as a starting point.  Download the manual for reference.

**Q: Wanting to use these to run apple tv audio, ipod and pc audio to my x32. Will this do what I need?**
A: The question is a bit broad, if you have compatible connections, it will pass the audio.  Your iPad on has a small connector for audio out.  You will have to verify that you can make the connections, the manual helps.

**Q: Good choice for these 2 tasks? 1/4" trs active bass gtr output to mixing board. stereo headphone-level keyboard outputs into mixer. thanks!**
A: I haven't used it specifically for what you described, but I believe it will work.  You may need to engage or release the pads.  I typically use for keyboard LR output, or other line level output device(iPod, CD, decks, etc.) and have been pleased with the results.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good DI box for the price
*by J***E on May 9, 2023*

Built very well. I like the rubber armor on what could be sharp edges. This box will not slip and slide on a stage.There is a very small amount of crosstalk between channels (order of -100dB?). You won't hear it but at the really high preamp gain levels needed for guitars with passive pickups, you might see it on your level meters. Absolutely not an issue for live sound (our use). For studio recording I would use single channel interfaces, possibly with dedicated preamps.There are a lot of buttons to select pad levels, ground lift, etc. We don't use any of them because we go from this box into a mixer with highly configurable preamp gain. So I can't comment on how well these bonus features work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great - use it at all gigs.
*by S***H on March 5, 2019*

I love this DI box. I play both bass and acoustic guitar - I plug both guitars into this (end of pedal chain, with the shortest possible 1/4" cables) and then run XLR cables to the mixer. Sounds like a clean signal to me - much better than long 1/4" cables. The unit is nice and small - fits into a side pouch on a backpack. No power required - plug and play. Bass players seem to always get pushed into a corner or way off to the side so this gives me a chance to have a clean signal to the PA.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great DI Box, but...
*by D***Y on July 19, 2014*

I probably purchased the wrong DI Box. This box is well designed, well made and works fine, BUT... I didn't realize that it would reduce the signal LEVEL so much !!!! From reading the description, I though we could use this to take an unbalanced ~ 2 Volt Line-Level Signal and convert it to 600 ohm balanced OUT, to send to a powered speaker that is far from the mixing board. We did this, but there was not enough Signal to drive the powered speaker. I call A.R.T. and asked a Tech about the [Turns Ratio] of the transformers and he wasn't sure, but if it is anything like the Zin-Zout Ratio (50,000 Ohm to 600 Ohm, or less), it will reduce the Voltage OUT by something like 83 times, so 1 Volt IN gives 12 mV OUT (which for us isn't useful). It would take 40 Volts IN to get 0.5 V OUT. To his credit, the Tech suggested that for our application, what we wanted a different DI box, which ART also makes. It turns out that they make a great many different versions, for all sorts of applications, so I recommend either a visit to the ART Website (or a call to Tech Support), to be certain that the DI Box you pick can do what you want. - Donald Coley -
