Radial StageBug SB-1 Active 48V Phantom Powered 1 Channel Instrument Direct Box with Polarity Switch and 15dB Pad

The Radial StageBug SB-1 is a high-performance active direct box designed to convert the high-impedance instrument signal to a balanced low-impedance signal, allowing long cable runs without signal degradation. It is ideal for use with acoustic guitars, bass guitars, keyboards, and other instruments that use a 1/4" output jack. 

Radial's high-performance StageBug SB-1 active DI delivers crystal-clear, full-bodied direct sound from your bass, keyboard, or acoustic guitar. To reduce noise, Radial spec'd the StageBug SB-1 with an ultra-quiet active circuit that converts your signal from high- to low-impedance.

Your signal is then buffered and balanced to drive long cable runs. The StageBug SB-1 is 48V phantom-powered, so there's no futzing around with batteries - it's plug-and-play, all the way!

Plug in an acoustic guitar and you'll enjoy rich, natural tone with sparkling high end, even with low-output pickups (there's a 15dB pad to handle the hotties). The SB-1 is also great on keyboards and bass.
