ULTRA-DI PRO DI800 V2The ULTRA-DI PRO DI800 is a professional mains/phantom powered 8-channel active DI-box. If you need a rack-mountable DI unit with enough inputs to accommodate everyone on stage, or in the studio – then you need to plug into the DI800! |
PRO-ActiveDirect Injection (DI) boxes make it possible to connect guitars, basses and keyboards (as well as other line-level devices) to audio mixers and recorders. They are absolutely essential for proper impedance-matching and to maintain signal integrity. Our active DI800 features “buffered” inputs that respect your source signal much better than passive DI boxes. Balanced signals leaving the DI800 are extremely low-impedance (typically less than 680 Ω), and far less susceptible to noise and RF Interference (RFI). |
1/4″ In, XLR Out – There has to be More?When it comes right down to it, all DI boxes do the same thing, right? Yes, in a manner of speaking, but the DI800 does much more than just bass guitar in, mic-level signal out. It really is a highly versatile input-signal toolkit. Here are just two advantages the DI800 has over standard passive DI boxes:
Of course, the DI800 provides a Link output for easy connection to other equipment, such as your onstage amplifiers and monitor consoles. |
Power TripUnlike their passive counterparts, active DI boxes require a power source to make their internal electronics work. The DI800 provides two power options: 100 – 240 V~ from the nearest wall outlet or power strip, or +48 V DC from your mixer phantom power supply. |

Behringer ULTRA-DI D800: A Detailed Look at an Affordable 8-Channel DI Box
The Behringer ULTRA-DI D800 is an 8-channel active direct injection (DI) box designed for musicians and sound professionals. DI boxes are crucial tools for connecting unbalanced instrument signals (like electric guitars, basses, keyboards) to balanced microphone inputs on mixing consoles or audio interfaces. This helps eliminate ground loops, hum, and signal loss, ensuring clean and pristine audio during live performances or recordings.
This review will explore the Behringer ULTRA-DI D800’s features, functionality, build quality, performance, and its position in the market to help you decide if it’s the right DI box for your needs.
Features and Functionality
The Behringer ULTRA-DI D800 boasts a straightforward design with eight independent channels. Each channel features:
- ¼-inch TS Input Jack: This accepts unbalanced instrument signals from various sources.
- Ground Lift Switch: Eliminates ground loops and hum caused by grounding discrepancies between equipment.
- Pad Switch: Attenuates the input signal by -20dB, accommodating instruments with hot outputs like active pickups.
- Mono/Stereo Toggle Switch: Selects between mono or stereo operation for keyboards or stereo instruments.
- Balanced XLR Output Jack: Sends the balanced, low-impedance signal to mixing consoles or audio interfaces.
- Phantom Power LED: Indicates the presence of 48V phantom power, which can be useful for powering condenser microphones through the DI box (applicable only on channels 1 and 2).
Build Quality and Design
The Behringer ULTRA-DI D800 features a metal chassis, providing a sturdy and roadworthy build. The control knobs and switches feel solid and responsive. While some users might prefer a more premium look and feel, the metal construction prioritizes durability at this price point. The compact size makes it easy to integrate into live setups or studio racks, and the lightweight design ensures portability.
Performance
The core function of a DI box is to convert unbalanced instrument signals to balanced microphone signals while maintaining fidelity. The ULTRA-DI D800 does this effectively. Users report clean and transparent audio with minimal coloration. The ground lift switch effectively eliminates ground loops, and the pad switch is helpful for instruments with hot outputs.
Who is the Behringer ULTRA-DI D800 For?
The Behringer ULTRA-DI D800 is a great choice for musicians and sound professionals on a budget who need a reliable and functional 8-channel DI box. It’s particularly well-suited for:
- Musicians: Guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, and other instrumentalists benefit from clean signal transmission to mixing consoles or audio interfaces.
- Live Sound Engineers: The compact size and ground lift capabilities make it ideal for live setups where space is limited and hum elimination is crucial.
- Project Studios: The affordable price makes it a good option for home recording studios where multiple instrument inputs might be needed.
Strengths
- Affordable Price: The ULTRA-DI D800 offers a significant price advantage compared to many other 8-channel DI boxes.
- Solid Build Quality: The metal chassis ensures durability for stage use and travel.
- Clean Audio Performance: The DI box effectively transmits instrument signals with minimal coloration.
