Use the SM2+2 in any situation where you need high performing, transformer-isolated DI or Line Isolation/conversion to balanced. Also located on the back is the mono summing switch for the passive summing network as used in the DISO+, dual line isolator. Two ground lift switches are also mounted on the back so that they can be easily accessed but tucked away where they cannot be accidentally bumped. The ¼ inch input and thru jacks and XLR output jacks are out of the way on the back panel and routed for the shortest signal path. This gives greater flexibility in any studio situation. Note: For international shipping, we will contact you with the quote from the carrier after you place the order.Combining components and features from our SWDI and the DISO+, the SM2+2 is a stereo rackmount direct box AND a stereo line isolator in one unit. This allows the setup to quickly move from stereo to mono and back with the flick of a switch. This choice adds a Summing switch for the XLRs. It is backed up with a full 3-year warranty. We build them one-at-a-time by hand using genuine Jensen Transformers line transformers, high reliability all-metal connectors from Switchcraft and Neutrik and top-shelf sealed switches from Grayhill. The DISO-Plus is all about giving you a clean, clear signal all of the time. This allows you to quickly connect a regular guitar amp or powered speaker for monitoring on stage or checking patches before a gig without disconnecting or re-patching anything from your board. A stereo/mono switch is located near the ¼ inch outputs and actuates a summing network to allow both 1/4 inch L and R signals to be summed to an amp or full range speaker while keeping the XLR outputs in stereo. A ground lift switch is mounted between the XLR connectors so that it is out of the way and won’t get bumped accidentally. The two ¼ inch input, two ¼ inch output and two XLR output jacks are mounted on a powder coated, cast aluminum enclosure. It can deliver pure, clean sounds in the studio and it has also passed the toughest test of touring life as well. The DISO-Plus is a 2-channel line isolator box made to integrate with other guitar pedals. A line isolator is the perfect device to use to keep the level high and clean but still allow for ground lift on a professional stage with dirty power or bad grounds. Some units have notoriously weak outputs. These don’t need the impedance matching of a DI that will also drop the level. Most percussion pads (Roland SPD-S, SPD-SX, Alesis Samplepad, Yamaha DTX, etc.) have line outs on 1/4 inch connectors but no XLR. In addition, transformer isolation insures that Phantom Power from the console never touches the outputs of your FX pedal. A line isolator won’t drop your signal level like a direct box will, but will maintain the line level while giving the ability to ground lift and eliminate noise when running your guitar signal to the main PA. These simulators have outputs on ¼ inch connectors but no way to ground lift in the event of ground loop noise. If you are using FX DSP simulation/load boxes such as the UA Ruby/Dream/Woodrow, Strymon Iridium, Line 6 HX Stomp, Walrus ACS1, Line 6 HX Effects, Two Notes Torpedo Live, Torpedo CAB, or Headrush Gigboard and are interfacing them in a live situation, you shouldn’t be using a direct box (for impedance matching) but should be using a “line isolator”. ![]()
