Out of style
I posted this in the N00b section but I want to hear your input as well.
I need a passive direct box/DI/something to hook mics up to my Tascam 244. What would you guys recommend? I've been stuck with a crappy input transformer and it doesn't sound particularly good, plus I want something a bit more flexible that I could use for different applications, and over a long period of time.
Ideally I'd go the Lonewhitefly route and pick up a Shure M67 (I still plan on doing that) because if I could get someone to mod it for me (or perhaps do it myself...) to get 4 unbalanced outs, that would be perfect. As it is, I'm leaning toward the Ebtech LLS-2 XLR as a good balance between price, flexibility, and being made in 'Murica. Also in the running were the ART DTI (well, the price is right) and the Radial JDI Duplex (a bit out of my price range, unfortunately).
Since I don't know a whole lot about different brands, if there's something I'm overlooking I'd appreciate you putting it forward. I'm not really into getting an impedance transformer, I'd rather get something more flexible and usable, especially with multiple channels. Anyone care to weigh in?
