Its integrated cable and portable design make it the ultimate tool for AV technicians and traveling musicians. ## Description The Radial Stage Bug SB-5 is a compact stereo direct box designed to accommodate laptop computers, tablets and other consumer audio products when amplifying the signal through a PA system. The passive design begins with an integrated input cable that connects from the headphone out via a flexible 1.5m (5') cable that is terminated with a standard 3.5mm (1/8") stereo connector. The cable is secured via a clamping strain relief and is wrapped using the sidewinder cleat for easy storage. This of course eliminates having to locate a cable making it easier to deploy in fast paced work environments. Inside, the unbalanced stereo signal is sent to a pair of custom wound transformers which balances the signals for long cable runs - upwards to 100 meters (300'), without noise. Transformers further benefit by isolating the computer from the PA system to help eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops. This is augmented with a ground lift switch to further reduce ground foreign matter. A choice of output connectors is available including a stereo set of 1/4" TRS jacks for full stereo operation or an XLR out that automatically sums the left-right program material to mono. This can save valuable channels on the PA system and makes setup easier in situations where full stereo reproduction is not required. A -15dB input pad may be engaged to reduce sensitivity and enable extra high output sources to be connected without distortion. These features combine to make the SB-5 the perfect tool-kit DI for the AV technician, media manager or traveling musician equipped with a computer. ## Features - 2-channel Passive Stereo Line Isolat with Polarity Switch - Dual Ground-lift Switches - -15dB Pad ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BSY3FP4 | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo, Mono | | Best Sellers Rank | #97,213 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #220 in Recording Signal Direct Boxes | | Brand Name | Radial Engineering | | Compatible Devices | Laptop Computers, Tablets, Consumer Audio Products | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (58) | | Interface | 3.5mm, 1/4" TRS, XLR | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Radial | | Material Type | Hard | | Model | FBA_R800 0150 | | Mounting Type | Portable | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Part Number | FBA_R800 0150 | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | UPC | 676101040681 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Radial Engineering - **Interface Type:** 3.5mm, 1/4" TRS, XLR - **Material:** Hard - **Mounting Type:** Portable - **Number of Channels:** 2 ## Images ![Radial StageBug SB-5 Laptop DI - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lZ8K9rgBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the balanced output (xlr) a combination of the left and right signal or just the left? radial's website says its combined but this box says left?** A: The balanced XLR sums Left and Right into mono so you still get both sides in a single connection. You just would lose the true stereo sound, and instead get the same sound in both speakers **Q: If using with an iphone or ipad i'm assuming you use 1/4 trs cable for both right and left but wanted to make sure exactly which cable to use?** A: To get stereo output from the unbalanced stereo input (3.5mm TRS mini connector), you would use TRS 1/4" outputs from each of the Left and Right outs. Balanced mono output also available on XLR. **Q: This is advertising the sb-5, but the picture is of the sb-6. what is the ad for?** A: The picture on Amazon is incorrect. We have no control over which image they show.
