Other products by BBE

The DI-1000 is perfect for touring sound applications and recording studios, yielding excellent results with active or passive bass guitars, keyboards, and both acoustic and electric guitars.  The DI-1000 is the ultimate means for transferring musical instrument signals direct to a mixing console.

The DI-1000 is a high quality direct box with applications both in the recording studio and on the road, designed to withstand the most demanding situations. It can operate as either a passive impedance matching device via the Jensen JT-DB-EP transformer, or as an active DI where the Sonic Maximizer circuit can be engaged with the signal still balanced at its output by the Jensen transformer.

Above all, the DI-1000 was designed without compromise, with paramount imporance placed on maintaining the highest sonic integtity.  No competitive high-end DI unit can deliver the clear, pure and natural sound that the DI-1000 can.

Michael Molenda, Editor-in-Chief of Guitar Player magazine, heaped on the praise in his review of the BBE DI-1000 and DI-100x:

"Both DIs sounded sweet, clear, airy and squeaky clean. The BBE's real strength is providing uncolored sound ... When I turned off the Maximizer, I just wanted it back on again - it's kind of addictive. [The BBE DIs offer] a quality DI with the added weapon of the Sonic Maximizer - an option you won't find on any other direct box..."
