Great little DI box
I bought this DI box on a whim, another thing to add to my growing collection of recording gear. I've only recorded a couple of our bands songs with it so far but I am very impressed. The signal is clean with no sign of any hum or unwanted noise.
The pad switchs and ground lift are very handy, the ground lift in particular doing a very good job as and when its required. The filter works well, although I'll never use it, I always record everything flat. But again, no unwanted artefacts from using it.
The thru input is perfectly clean as well, me and our guitarist could detect no additional sound being caused by running through the box.
Build quality is good, it might not weigh anything but it feels like it'll last well and could survive a good few drops or being stood on etc. The only thing I would say, is the buttons could break off if caught the right way, but it would have to be a perfectly placed hit to do this and at this price it wouldn't exactly be the end of the world replacing the unit.
I really can't think of anything negative to say about this box, at this price it just can't be beat. There will be a couple of others added to my next order!

Good for the price
I use it in my home studio and it does its job when connecting Active instruments like Keyboard and EDrums, sometimes I use it for Acoustic Guitar as well.
I really like the features with the phase switch and Ground lift, they work well.
Highly recommended for such a price

Best of it's category!
Best value for money passive DI box you can find out there!
Have been using this one for more than 5 years in home studio, and also on a recording studio, and still doing it's job 100%!
If you want a DI box, for everyday use, and don't want to spend a ton of money, this one is the perfect choice!
Pros: Steel strong construction, REALLY affordable, portability, audio quality.
Cons: Be a little bit careful with the filter button. it may give you peaks sometimes. Better press it before plugin-in any instrument or mic.

Gain.
I'm fully washed out with (short lived), expensive 9 volt batteries, so I went passive on my DI's. OK phantom powered DI's, maybe, if you have a very good (reliable) phantom power mixer.
So passive is for me now, OK, we lose 1/8th of a turn on the gain knob, but we make up on signal clarity & way more headroom before DI distortion sets in.
This particular passive DI loses 1/8 a turn of gain (not good) for passive instruments, but OK for active instruments, or pre'amp/pedal out signals.
Phase turn works great for stopping feedback. This one also has a radio signal filter built in to stop the mobile phone noises.

Been using this passive DI for some months now, it works as it should
As I said in the title, it's working as it should. If you have a low impedance source signal this passive DI is the right tool if you need it. I used Behringer and other cheap DIs in the past, and there isn't really comparison. Those were, generally speaking, much more noisy and not reliable in a couple of situations, this one just does the work instead.
Plus, the double signal pad at the input, together with the invert phase switch and the ground lift switch, make this DI very versatile for many setups I guess

Great balance of price and quality
Bought to use for small church PA so looking for good quality at a reasonably cheap price. This delivers!
I'm really pleased. I'm sure you could buy something better but it suits our setup perfectly.

Very good quality for the price
I used four of these DI boxes in the last few years, and they are really good equipment. I bought four more.
One of my friends made precise measurements on these little boxes, and he was amazed at its quality. The signal is very clear and transparent.
They are passive, I don't have to care about batteries or phantom.
I am very satisfied!

A great tool for guitar and bass recording
I am using this for home recording. It cleans up the guitar/bass signal before the audio interface, produce a better clarity and control to your recording.
