Radial StageBug SB-5 Laptop DI
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.
