The 9 Best stage Boxes To Audio (2023 reviews)

The latest behringer professional and direct injection box is an absolute beast in terms of its features, and rightfully takes the top spot with ease. While they're not amazing or mind-blowing (this IS just a passive DI box, mind you), they're surprisingly quiet and solid. It can be used on stage to convert a low impedance signal (1/4" cable) to three-pin xlr. It is used to bypass an amp and get a simple clean signal from your instrument. The plating on the connector looks robust.

This is a great unit for connecting your laptop to your mixer and would easily recommend this witnkit reservation. It does not completely remove the noise. The product feels really nice quality and the size is really nice for bringing it with you at all times in a guitar case.

Why We Like This:

Handles speaker level input for recording, as well direct input from guitar
Works flawlessly for electric bass/acoustic-electric guitar
Excellent for a simple basement setup
Very nice device, no hum or buzzing when connected, just clean tone

The Triton Audio Bigamp piezo direct box is a small sized, high quality jfet instrument preamp which performs equally well on stage as it does in a studio environment. It provides high end amplification and converts the instrument output signal from unbalanced to balanced.

Because of its small size BigAmp, the Pizo can be connected as close to the transducer as possible which keeps cable capacitance to a minimum. It has a 7.5 mega ohms input impedance, which enables the pizo transducer to deliver its full potential. It comes with the Triton audio bigamp piezo so you can bring your own high quality di everywhere. The small form factor combined with the ease of use makes that every touring musician should have a BigAmp in their case or gigbag.
