The first difference is that IMP2 has 1 channel and Prod2 has 2 channels. So, the IMP2 will receive 1 unbalanced signal in a TRS jack and sens 1 balanced in a XRS jack while the prod2 will do 2 of this.The other thing you need to compare is the attenuation level that between them. Look at the tech specs.Regards! **Q: Isn't this the exact same thing as the behringer ultra-di di400p with a whirlwind logo on it?** A: Behringer just makes cheap junk that's a poor copy of another product. This DI might look like the Behringer there's no way it's the same components inside. **Q: I need to extract the stereo mini jack output of my ipad to separate mono l and r to the sound mixer; is this a good match?** A: You can use two of these with RCA to 1/4" adapters, or you can use a PCDI. They make a PCDI with the mini jack cable attached as well. **Q: I have a 1/4 ts "line out" mic set that needs to go to a usb device 1/4 ts mono "mic input". connect directly causes huge buzz. will this device help?** A: That buzz is most likely caused by the fact that it’s a usb device, converting the analogue signal to a digital signal. I don’t think this will help. Plus, this box has an XLR output, not a 1/4 inch output, so you would have to adapt the cord before the usb device input as well, which I’m never a fan of. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muy bueno *by E***� on May 18, 2026* Excelente producto ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good DI box *by M***A on February 6, 2026* Works great I’m really happy with this product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very useful gadget *by A***P on February 26, 2023* I bought this to send signal from a guitar to a mixing board about 110 feet away. It worked without any degradation and the signal was more than clean enough for recording. Low impedance XLR output makes it easy to hook up. I didn't need to use the ground lift switch so far, but it's nice to have the feature in case of any buzzing. The parallel high impedance output is a useful feature if you also need to send the signal to a nearby amp or processor at the same time. The body of the box is really solid; I don't see it getting damaged easily. This thing is definitely worth the cost. ## Frequently Bought Together - Whirlwind IMP 2 1-Channel Passive Instrument Direct Box - Shure SM58 Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone - Professional Studio & Live Performance Cardioid Mic for Vocals, Podcasting, and Recording (SM58-LC) - Shure SM57 Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone - Professional Studio & Live Performance Cardioid Mic for Instruments, Recording for Drums, Percussion, & Instrument Amplifier Miking (SM57-LC) --- ## 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.ph/products/3498037-imp-2-1-channel-passive-instrument-direct-box](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3498037-imp-2-1-channel-passive-instrument-direct-box) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
