Hum-inducing DI, really?
I really don't like to leave a reviews like this and I don't mind Behringer equipement since it always does what it's supposed to, but this one is totally disappointing - it's not only the money spent, it's time spent for the whole ordeal including finding and the debugging the issue. The whole point of having DI box is to use it to reduce cable length noise pickup issues, but this one is actually inducing more hum into signal then it originally has over unballanced connection so it defies the purpose. Avoid it. I didn't use it over 9V battery since I don't like battery operated devices in general, so I powered it via Phantom - in stereo config (tried ground lifting, and whole charade of testing but nothing seems to help). Tested on both Soundcraft UI24R and Rack Wing and it does the same thing. Imagine my surprise when I recorded a couple of songs for an album and came home only to find this crazy hum added to guitar channels (back to square one!). Save yourself time and some nerves and buy something proper. IMHO - this should be removed from sales and production as this is simply unusable and I don't see any scenario where I would like to have it. 4 stars for features which would be great to have if it worked as it should. Sorry, Behringer, you really did yourselves a disservice with this mess of a product.

Horrible
Noisy and useless. Don't bother with it. Used once, now don't even bring it as a backup. Spend a few bucks more and get something decent.

Incredibly noisy
There is a super annoying white noise. I bought three of these and all of them have the same problem no matter the settings. Absolutely terrible product. Stay away

Don't waste your money- it's just making an extra noise
I bought it because i wanted to plug my keyboard into a stage snake but this box is terribly noisy. Literally, the only thing you can do with it is to throw it away as soon as it arrives. Since i use passive monitors which are pretty old i decided to use it there because i don't mind the noise there that much. I recommend spending some extra money on something more reliable and you'll at least get your money's worth.

So noisy
This DI box is so noisy that it isn't usable at all, the hiss is louder than the source you are using, and the features it has are completely useless due to this hiss.
