DI–100x

The DI-100x is a professional-grade active Direct Input ("DI") box built primarily for recording applications.

Reviews

"Both DIs [DI-1000 & DI-100x] sounded sweet, clear, airy and squeaky clean. The BBE's real strength is providing uncolored sound ... When I turned off the Maximizer, I just wanted it back on again - it's kind of addictive. [The BBE DIs offer] a quality DI with the added weapon of the Sonic Maximizer - an option you won't find on any other direct box..."
