Radial's high-performance StageBug SB-1 active DI delivers crystal-clear, full-bodied direct sound from your bass, keyboard, or acoustic guitar. To keep noise to a minimum, the StageBug SB-1 uses an ultra-quiet active circuit that converts your signal from high to low impedance, then buffers and balances it for clean performance over long cable runs. Powered entirely by 48V phantom power, it eliminates the hassle of batteries and stays fully plug-and-play. Acoustic instruments come through with rich, natural tone and brilliant high end, even with low-output pickups, while the built-in 15dB pad easily manages hotter signals. Also excellent for keyboards and bass, the compact StageBug SB-1 delivers impressive clarity and performance in a tiny footprint.
The StageBug SB-1 is a compact active direct box designed to fit inside a guitar case for artists who prefer to travel light.
The design begins with a standard ¼" instrument input and a thru-put to feed your tuner or on-stage amp. The ultra-quiet active circuit instantly converts the signal from high to low impedance to reduce noise, then buffers and balances it for long cable runs to the PA system. Powered entirely by 48V phantom power, the SB-1 requires no batteries or external supply—simply plug in and you’re ready to play.
The StageBug SB-1 is plug-and-play simple. Connect your instrument and it automatically converts your high-impedance signal to low-impedance while balancing it for long cable runs.
Record your bass directly through the StageBug SB-1 for improved tone and reduced noise, thanks to proper impedance matching.
Use the SB-1 thru output to feed your on-stage amplifier. You can even add pedals after the SB-1 to shape your stage tone while keeping the PA signal clean.
