Feature:
This DI does everything a DI should do, and slightly more. I just wish that the cabinet simulation didn't introduce any noise into the signal.
Quality:
I had one of these suffer a death where the input jacks seemed to somehow develop a short. I opened the DI to see if there was anything I could do, but the jacks are sealed (and soldered to a PCB.) What opening the box revealed, though, was that you would probably have to subject the box to a rather nasty impact to actually damage the electronics.
Value:
Behringer has a reputation for lots of features for a low price, and this DI is a perfect example of that.
Desirability:
This is a great addition to a live sound engineer's arsenal, although it doesn't inspire the same "it's nuke-proof" response as more heavily built DI boxes might.
Sound:
These DI's are quite nice, only seeming to have one sonic weakness, and that is the cabinet simulation causing a fair amount of hiss. The cabinet simulation won't satisfy everyone, but as a live sound engineer, I like its overall tone more than simply having an amp (usually with the high frequencies at painful levels) blasting away in the room.
Support:
I've only spoken to Behringer once, and they seemed quite helpful.
Overall:
I am buying at least one more of these to make up for the one that had a problem. The 4X12 simulation puts these DI's at the head of the pack for me.
