Your cart is empty.Need to pump the audio output of your laptop through the PA, cleanly? Sweetwater has the device you need: the Radial StageBug SB-5. The StageBug SB-5 is a passive DI that takes an unbalanced stereo signal and sends it through a pair of custom-wound transformers, which balances the signal for cable runs of up to 300 feet. The transformers also isolate the source device - your computer, for instance - from the PA system, to eliminate buzz and hum due to ground loops. The unit is also fitted with a ground-lift switch. Flexible I/O to handle any scenario Input is via a permanently attached 5-foot, 1/8" stereo TRS cable. For output connections, you have a choice of two 1/4" TRS jacks for stereo operation or an XLR that automatically sums to mono. A 15dB pad lets you knock down hot input signals. Whether you're an AV technician or touring musician

Bought the "StageBug" and connected it to the Dragonfly Cobalt DAC. Ran a balanced line from the StageBug to the Mixer. What a great way to get sound audio from your laptop to the sound system. It sounds fantastic!

This a nice little box to have. Saved me from a jam when I needed to connect a laptop computer away from the soundboard. 1 XLR cable, 1 open channel on the stage snake, connect to the laptop and done. Works!

A well made device that works as advertised. I am using it to connect an iPad to a mixer that is sending a mono signal to a Crown amp. It sums the stereo input to mono and more importantly the 'PAD' button prevents the distortion I was experiencing when connecting with a Y splitter (3.5 to TS X 2) to a left and right mono channel on the mixer. I am very happy with this purchase and I am considering getting another Radial DI (ProAV1) in the future. The item shipped same day and arrived in two days.

I found the documentation for this product misleading and when I contacted RADIAL about with my question I never received a reply.
