  • Solid performer from Mackie
style: Active
I really like this particular model because I don't have to carry around spare batteries. Of course, you are reliant upon your mixer having phantom power, so that is an important limitation to be aware of if you are relying upon other people's boards. But if you are using your own board, this is a cool piece of hardware and has a lot of nice features like the 15db pad, the ability to combine two sources or use the second 1/4" jack as a "through" jack. I also like the ability to switch polarity and the ground lift. In addition, it feels like a solid little box that is well made. I've been using them for about a year now with no issues - just nice quiet signal. ... show more

  • Working like it should
style: Stereo Passive
Got this to connect my e-drum kit in stereo to the soundboard with a Left/Right configuration. It works perfectly!

  • Solid, flexible, affordable active direct box
style: Active
Very solidly built, quiet, with many useful features. An excellent value compared with other active direct boxes that don't include amp or cabinet simulators. Phantom-powered (48v) so you'll need a mixer on the output side of the XLR, although it will send the Thru signal to an amp even when the MDB-1A isn't powered (with the Merge/dual input off). This last feature is actually very useful not only for driving an amp onstage as a monitor while the low-Z signal goes to the mixer. I have the MDB-1A on my pedal board, and the Thru lets me practice with an amp without taking things apart when I'm not using a mixer. Or, as in the picture I'm running modulation & OD/distortion in two separate signal chains before merging them in the MDP-1A. ... show more

  • Good.
style: Stereo Passive
Works as it should. Feels solid. Looks also good, looks professional enough (I wish for a Radial). Its small too. Hope it lasts trouble-free.

  • Works perfectly for my Yamaha YC64 keyboard.
style: Stereo Passive
Works perfectly for my Yamaha YC64 keyboard. Gets rid of ground loop noise. Always get compliments from the sound guy, when I show up at a gig, with this. I use the pass through 1/4" for my monitor amps, and the balanced outputs for the house mixer.

  • Clean Sound
style: USB
It works. I use this in my office to feed some powered studio monitors. With most usb d/a converters there is noise coming from the PC, but the ground lift switch on the back quickly eliminated that. It's plug and play with Ubuntu 18.10, as well. :) My only complaint is that the speaker outputs stay active when the headphone jack is used - a knob or bypass switch would simplify the setup and eliminate the workaround, which is to use another headphone amp and switch outputs in the operating system when I need to use headphones. Otherwise, this works as advertised and sounds great. ... show more

  • Needed a 2 of these for a stereo line out solution from PC to mixer for OBS. Works perfect.
style: USB
I needed one of these for main PC audio to capture game audio and some OBS monitored stuff and another one to capture communications audio, so I could feed that to another channel with it's own mix that went back out to a BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC202HD, 2-Channel from that bus, so the people on coms wouldn't have to hear themselves come back at them. I also had another UMC202HD to capture the main mix from the mixer to throw into OBS. Both devices are plug and play and are completely clean without buzz/noise. I used to run everything through the 1/8 inch jacks on the PC because it was good enough, but then I picked up a ton of cable whine and ground buzz out of no where that I couldn't seem to eliminate even though everything was running through a power conditioner. These devices solved my problems and have been work horses in my studio ever since. ... show more
