Overview

Stereo DI to connect laptops, tablets and mobile devices to audio equipment and PA systems.

The StageBug SB-5 provides an easy-to-use professional interface for connecting any mobile playback device to a mixer or PA system, with a built-in cable and 3.5mm stereo plug to connect directly to your laptop, smartphone, or tablet.

Inside, a pair of custom-wound transformers isolate the signals to prevent hum and buzz, and balance the audio to feed long cable runs without noise. Left and right 1/4" TRS outputs are provided for stereo operation, or a mono XLR output can be used to save channels on the PA system.

The SB-5 works without any power required, and features additional ground lift and pad switches to eliminate ground loop noise and prevent distortion from high output audio sources.

Features

  • Stereo direct box for laptops, smartphones, and tablets
  • Cable with 3.5mm stereo plug to connect to mobile devices
  • Transformer isolation eliminates hum and buzz
  • Plug & play easy to use, no power required
  • Compact design fits in your laptop bag

With so many performances counting on external devices, it's important they be quiet. Order today.
