Intention is convert unbalanced output from computer to balanced to send to active speakers.** A: The output from a computer is stereo. You would need the dual model to have 2 channels, left and right. It will work, but I have never had anyone use the product this way. **Q: Hi. If I connect my instrument to the 2 1/4” input jacks, can I use the 1/8” stereo jack as a parallel instrument level output?** A: No, the 1/8” stereo jack is an input not an output. **Q: Is this good also for electric guitar? I use a pedal board with amp simulator** A: Yes, it should work fine with your setup… **Q: Will this work on a pc? i have a 1/8" onboard sound going to a allen&heath board. the pc introduces a loud hum** A: Yes with an 1/8” to 1/4” cable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samson S-Max MD1 Passive Mono Direct DI Box,18Hz40kHz, 0dB/-15dB - Samson MDA1 Mono Active Direct Box - Pyle Premium Direct Injection Audio Box - 2.36" x 4.09" Passive DI Unit Hum Eliminator w/ Input Attenuator to Connect Guitar & Bass, 1/4'' Impedance Transformer Connector to Balanced & Unbalanced XLR --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/82625264-samson-s-max-md1-passive-mono-direct-di-box-18hz40khz](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/82625264-samson-s-max-md1-passive-mono-direct-di-box-18hz40khz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-05*
