Radial StageBug SB-2 Passive D.I Box

Radial StageBug SB-2 Passive: A Compact DI Box for Traveling Musicians

The Radial StageBug SB-2 is a compact passive direct box that is perfect for active basses and keyboards. It’s small enough to fit inside an instrument case and features a stereo-to-mono mix function to save mixer channels.

Key Features

• Small Size, Big Performance: The compact design starts with a ¼” input and thru-put to feed the on-stage amp. This connects to a custom-made Eclipse ET-DB3 transformer which performs impedance matching and signal balancing.
• Handles High-Output Signals: When using extra high-output instruments, a -15dB pad can be inserted into the signal path. This enables the SB-2 to be used with active basses and digital pianos that often tend to overload the input side of the interface.
• Stereo-to-Mono Merge Function: This feature provides a convenient way to connect stereo keyboards and computers without having to reset the source for mono operation, saving time and input channels on the PA.
• Eliminates Ground Loop Noise: The Eclipse ET-DB3 transformer helps eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops by isolating the input from the output. This is augmented with a ground lift switch that lifts pin-1 on the XLR for quiet, professional results.

Conclusion

The Radial StageBug SB-2 Passive is an efficient and portable DI box, perfect for musicians who demand clean, noise-free audio quality. Its ease of use and compact size make it an indispensable tool for live performances and studio recordings.
