Radial StageBug SB-4 Piezo D.I Box

Radial StageBug SB-4 Piezo: A Compact Active DI for Piezo-Equipped Instruments

The Radial StageBug SB-4 is a compact active direct box that has been optimized for use with piezo transducers. It’s small enough to fit inside an instrument case and helps you retain the natural tone of your piezo-equipped instrument when amplified through a PA system.

Key Features

• Optimized for Piezo Pickups: The SB-4 features a very high 5 meg ohm impedance that smooths out troublesome peaks often associated with piezo transducers, resulting in a more natural and pleasing sound.
• High-Performance Active Circuit: The active circuit balances the audio signal, enabling long cable runs up to 100 meters (300 feet) without loss, while delivering spectacular linearity and low distortion throughout the audio range.
• Feedback Control: Equipped with a high-pass filter and a 180° polarity reverse switch to help eliminate feedback on a live stage. The high-pass filter reduces excessive low-end frequencies that can cause resonance, and the polarity reverse switch helps minimize acoustic hot spots.
• Versatile Connections: Features an aux out for a stage amplifier and a standard XLR output to feed the PA system.

Conclusion

The Radial StageBug SB-4 Piezo is an intelligently designed DI box for musicians using piezo-equipped instruments, whether it’s a classical guitar, a double bass, or other orchestral instruments. With its outstanding features for improving sound quality and reducing noise, you can be confident that your sound will be at its best for every performance.
