Countryman Type 85 Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been using this DI for close to 4 years now, and it's never given me an ounce of trouble. Sounds great on keyboards, basses, and acoustic guitars. The unit itself looks like you could run it over with a truck and it would continue working--and I've heard stories of it being done. The only thing to be aware of is that it requires either phantom power or a 9v battery to work--but that's not usually a problem. In my mind, you couldn't get a better DI for live work.

Countryman's Type 85 direct box connects any high impedance instrument, even piezo pickups to a balanced mic input while providing a strong, clean signal to the mix board without adding noise or distortion. The Type 85 uses only hand selected, high-quality discrete components woven into a single ended, class-A circuit - much like a classic tube mic preamp! The sound? Smooth and sweet. Ultra rugged and ready for the road, we've heard stories of engineers running over their Type 85 with a truck and then using it in a gig the same day! Another stand-out feature is the fact that the Type 85 can always isolate ground, even when running on Phantom power, eleminating unwanted hum and buzz.
