## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there a transformer inside this box? does it have a direct throughput?**
A: Yes it has a transformer. That is what converts from hi to low impedance. It is kind of like a gear box for mechanical things.

**Q: Is there any documentation for this available anywhere ?**
A: Not really. It’s a simple device. It converts a 1/4 inch cable to an xlr signal. What other information do you need?

**Q: The product photos are for a completely different product than what is described, right?**
A: You are correct --- this [photo] is not the product I bought...

**Q: I have an acoustic guitar with a passive pickup that is way to low in volume going into my kustom pa50 mini pa. will this give me lots more volume?**
A: I don't think it will add volume to your acoustic. This really is not a preamp, but rather a simple box to allow you to plug in a phone type of jack input as on most guitar cables into this box and then use a XLR type of cable as on most microphone cables as an output into your PA system. 

There are similar products that are "active" "Direct Boxes" that offer the feature of a preamp...they will give you the boost you are looking for from your passive pickup. 

Do a search regarding "acoustic guitar preamp/DI Box."

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid cheap box
*by M***L on February 1, 2020*

I’m not a pro, I don’t buy pro gear, I generally try to get the most bang for my buck especially with recording equipment.I can’t compare this to other more expensive DI boxes because my only other piece of gear that comes close to this is my sans amp bass driver and I only use that with my live rig.What I can say about this box is that it works like a champ! It’s quiet, it feels pretty tough, and the connections are solid. The 1/4 jacks are plastic and mounted to the board but I’m not worried about them in the long run because this box can be easily replaced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than I expected for the money
*by K***R on September 18, 2017*

First off, let me say this is a low cost Chinese made passive DI. If you are expecting Countryman or Radial, you're in the wrong listing. However, having said this, this is a very good unit in its class. I've been a professional theatre sound guy for over 20 years and bought one of these for a light-duty additional to my personal inventory.PROS:Heavy, well fitted, sturdy metal housing, with screw assembly (you CAN get inside!)Transformer isolated, appears to be the proper impedance conversionParalleled 1/4" jacks (means you can link out to an instrument amp, or Y both stereo channels together)Simple switched resistive attenuator to allow level correctionGround Lift switchCONS:Cheap plastic jacks - not sure how well they'll stand upJacks are mounted directly to internal PC board - may be a pain to replaceAll in all, hard to beat for the money for light or intermittent use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does What is Supposed To
*by A***I on January 5, 2023*

Worked like a dream in a pinch. I am keeping an eye out for how it performs over time.
