Stagg SDI-ST 2-Channel Passive DI Box with Mono/Stereo Switch

Works great. Use to feed signal from guitar multi-effects unit to PA and monitor. Works with no hassles and seems built solidly. Sounds as good as the mono unit I had before and takes up barely more room on a pedal board. Pleased in general and thrilled for the price

Don't bother with this unit. It's a great idea, but the workmanship is absolute trash. Transformers that are unglued. Stereo/Mono switch is of poor quality. If you have drop in volume or the unit seems dead, flip the stereo/mono switch or wiggle it around. Mine has never the last studio and has only been used maybe a dozen times and I can't even use it to record a full track because the thing just slowly loses volume and dies until mess with the switch.

Solid units (I have 2) yeah the transformers came unglued, but I'm a Sound Engineer I took it apart (4 screws) and re-glued them.. not rocket science, they don't sound like anything (they aren't supposed to) since I'm a Live Soundguy they're gonna get kicked around have beer spilled on them and get thrown into boxes constantly.. buy a new one if it breaks!..

I purchased this to use during church music service and it has always worked. Ive used it for a few years now and ive never had any issues with it. Its also heavy enough that it doesnt get yanked around. The switch has always worked every time ive clocked it and no popping or crackling to report.

...you get one where the glue intended to hold the transformers in place is working. As you can see in the photo, I opened the chassis after I noticed rattling inside. Also, it looks like one of the loose transformers must have broken a wire off the ground lift switch. It was an easy repair with a soldering iron and a hot glue gun if you know what you are doing. Works great and at a decent price but can't give more than an average rating due to it arriving broken.

Tried the Pyle PDC22 - one channel died after a week. Tried another. One channel died after two weeks. Apparently the attenuator switch they use is garbage. Tried the Stagg - this is what I wanted - solid, dependable, no nonsense.

The glue used for the transformers inside is terrible. The transformers rattle around inside and yank wires out. I ordered a replacement which arrived in the same broken state. After soldering them both back together correctly one sounds really crunchy the other seems to be work okay. Amazon forced me to pay for both because I fixed them myself. Don't buy, beware.

Like most other reviewers, I’ve found the transformers have come unglued and are rattling around inside, I have to reglue this. It’s cheap, solves the problem I bought it for, and doesn’t require a power supply or battery. So far so good.
