Millenium DI-E

I have used several other DI Boxes so far, but this one is the first DI Box that I personally own.
You may think that for such a price you can't expect anything special, but you would be surprised.
Of course, this is not one of the best DI boxes in the world, but surely is one of the most cost-effective.
I play in the Alternative Rock / Industrial band, and we play with a lot of background music loops, so we use Millenium DI-E for live concerts to send our loops out to the mixing console.
There are some situations where happens to appear some humming noise but fortunately there is a Ground Lift Switch. Use that switch and the noise is gone - it really works !!! :)
The sound that comes from it it's pretty clean, but Millenium DI-E maybe cuts a little bit some of the frequencies from the overall sound, but you can add those at the mixing console afterwards, so at the end the sound is very good.
This DI Box is surprisingly strong and resistant, I believe you can drive a car over it and nothing will happen to it. It seems to me that it could last for a long time, and its price is ridiculously low.

In short: it's good and cheap, I definitely recommend it!

I use it for exercising and home demo recording for almost 2 years now alongside with Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 audio interface and the sssnake IPP1030 guitar cable.

My guitar cable is very noisy and not shielded, so it picks local radio stations very well up. This di-box gets rid out of that radio signal completely! It's amazing! I can play the guitar only without some radio jamming :)

Though here some cons:
1) This device adds a little noise to the signal
2) It's passive, so it has less possibilities

But for home and may be for most live performances and demo recordings it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! And the price is very sweet to my heart...

Thank you Thomann/Millenium!

Las compré para conciertos en vivo. Utilizo sintetizadores y una consola pequeña, y estas cajas en general me han funcionado bien.
Un problema significativo es que las gomas que van por debajo, y que evitan que se deslicen, se salen (y pierden) fácil después de un tiempo de uso.
Pero, por la relación precio/calidad, no se puede esperar mucho más.
PROS: Funcionan bien, y para el precio me parecen bien construidas (mejor que las behringer, por ejemplo).
CONS: Las gomas antideslizantes se salen y pierden fácilmente.
No recomendables para una gira extensa, escenarios difíciles o conciertos duros, difícil aguanten muchos golpes.

Very handy reliable tool to keep around. This is great value for money. This very robust unit can be thrown into a gear bag and be kicked around stage and still be fully operational. I bought this product five years ago. I have done many gigs with this using it to hook up basses and synths to the PA system.

The sound quality is very good.

I did not expect the unit to last very long at all but it has really proven itself over the past five years and has never given me any problems. I would recommend this product to anyone on a tight budget and for gigging musicians.
