Radial Engineering StageBug SB-4 Piezo Direct Box

Compact Active DI for Piezo Pickups, Low-Cut Filter, 48V Phantom

The StageBug SB-4 Piezo is a special direct box designed specifically for instruments that use a piezo electric transducer as a sound source element. Piezos are notorious for their peaky response and edgy tone when they do not see a proper load. The SB-4 has been optimized with a 10 meg-ohm input impedance that smoothes out the dynamics while increasing the frequency response for a warmer, more natural tone. The SB-4 has also been equipped with a high pass filter that gently rolls off excessive bass which can cause resonant feedback. This makes the SB-4 a great choice for violin, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass and for expensive guitars where you do not want to mount an active system.

Features:

• Active direct box for piezo transducers
• Smoothes out peaks, squawk and edginess
• Low cut filter eliminates resonance
