Questions & Answers

What do you mean by balanced output (xlr)? Does it include left and right signals, or just Although the website for Radio Television says that the company is combined, these boxes show it as ?

So you still get both sides from a single balanced XLR connection, because Left and Right are summed into mono. There would be no true stereo sound instead, you would hear the same sound in each speaker

In case you are using an iphone or ipad, I assume you are using a 1/4-inch trs cable for right and left, but would like to be sure about what cable you should ?

The unbalanced stereo input should be tapped to get stereo output For balanced stereo output, you can also use XLRs. 5mm TRS mini connectors), and 1/4" TRS outputs from the Left and Right outs.

Do you know the frequency range of the response?

The Radial product specification sheet states The frequency of response is The 20Hz times the 20KHz portion (* dB)

Selected User Reviews For Radial StageBug SB-5 Laptop DI

You can connect your Macbook to the mixing board and it works great! Musicians like me use MainStage 3 for live performances

5/5

With the StageBug, I can connect my MacBook to the mixing board and I am very pleased with it! It works fine and there is no latency when I listen to the audio on the computer and the board. I use MainStage 3 for live music performances. As I understand, using this DI over an audio interface has a lot of limitations, but for simple, lower-res audio sources, it would be perfect Set up the end-of-the set As an up-date, this seems to be working great. I plan to upgrade to an audio interface shortly, but for now, this has worked perfectly.

The Radial product is of excellent quality, as is its big brother, the It has the most of the features of a professional AV Boxes of 1 in smaller sizes

5/5

The cost of this is much less than that of In 1, weight and size are the most important factors. Size and weight of this unit make it a great choice for lecterns or on the tech table for corporate presentations or use in a worship center. The weight makes it easy not to slide around, yet it is small enough to hide. It functions as it should and the labels are simple but clear.

This is a great little gadget for electronic musicians today

5/5

My favorite tool for creating musical instruments is a keyboard controller and a MacBook Pro. Compared to an insert cable, I prefer this solution. There is a limit of 10 feet for cables inserted. I can sum the left and right channels and go as far as a low-pass filter with StageBug There's no way I can go other than Z cable. All Radial products are built like tanks, so they provide a good level of strength for the price. It is true that DIs aren't exciting products, but they fill a very important and useful niche.

This is an excellent product

5/5

Radial is most likely already familiar to you if you're shopping for a DI. It is without a doubt the best DI box on the market. I really like the build quality, sound quality, and this stagebug is a very useful item for corporate or event settings where somebody always brings in a last minute phone, laptop, or iPod.
