Description
Throw the Sound Block in a bag, trunk, or anywhere cable and misc. audio supplies are stored. The heavy-duty construction and passive electronics make the Sound Block nearly indestructible. This Direct Interface is extremely versatile as a Lo to Hi-Z transformer for electric instruments and devices to XLR mic inputs or as Lo-Hi-Z to use a microphone with a guitar amp (not recommended only because guitar amps make terrible PAs). High level outputs from active instruments and even speaker outputs are not a problem when using the -20 or -40 db attenuator switch. The Sound Block is a very easy to use passive device. Simply plug your 1/4" output from a guitar or electric piano, plug an XLR cable into your mixer's channel input, and you're done. A ground lift is provided for use in older buildings with janky wiring or if circuits are different from stage to where the sound system is located.

This unit allows me to convert line-level/consumer connector signals to XLR cable for long cable runs. Also the ground lift has solved a nasty buzz problem hooking one particular computer to external sound reinforcement.
Low frequency drop off in the -20Db position.

Nice box for the price. When running pink noise frequency specs, I found that in the -20Db pad position, there is a significant roll off of low frequencies, similar to a good ?low cut filter?. All frequencies were relatively flat in the 0Db and -40Db position. Other than this, the construction is good and does the job as expected, especially for the price.
Great Product, Great Value

Looks pro, and works perfectly. I have the two-channel and two singles, couldn't be happier, especially for the price. Highly recommend. :)
for gigs ...

you'd think that a 50-watt "boutique" amp head that costs $1800 would have a line out to connect directly to a sound board so that my sound guy wouldn't have to mic my amp to get it thru the board so that he can balance the live sound from out front. Oh, but no, Treadplate Breath! Enter this device. It was small enough to mount inside the head cab. Gives me a speaker cable to my 2x12 and a nice XLR out to the board. Problem solved. Thanks, Monoprice for this and the many other great products I've bought from you in the past, and am sure to buy in the future.

We use four of these at our church and they work perfectly! We use one pair of these to run a click/metronome and backing tracks separately from one device (like an iPad) to our sound console. We use another pair to run our electric drum kit to our sound console in stereo. They have a nice metal build and feel very sturdy. Been using them for at least 5 years and never had any issue. Plus, these are way more affordable than some of the name brand DI boxes out there. We have some of those pricey ones, and while they are great and durable as well, they are more expensive.
Decent.

Will get the job done. I use it as a backup, though I have never had a DI fail. Sound quality is a bit thin.
Great Product So Far

So far so good. I have only had them for about 1 week. Only used them twice during that time, but they do what they are meant to do. Metal case feels rugged, ground lift works well, pad is very nice allowing you the correct volume for what is being routed though them. I will give the product 5 stars if they last any reasonable length of time under normal use. Great price - seems like great quality so far.

These are built like a tank. Using them in a live context a couple times a week and we use them mixed in with our other name brand DI's and can't tell the difference.
Great Direct Boxes!!

the product operates great with no surprises. The shipping, although free, was exasperating to see it bounce all around Dallas Ft. Worth area for nearly four days. Well satisfied with the product.
