Published on 11/05/12 at 23:53The Samson S Direct Plus is a phantom powered box that has a lift switch. It is only 40 bucks and it is very easy to use and set up. It is a plug and play device that has gold plated XLR balanced outputs. The bottom of it has rubber corners to prevent it from sliding on any surface that you may have it sitting on. The Samson S Direct Plus has 48 volts of phantom power or you can use 9 volts for auto battery shut off.
UTILIZATION
The Samson S Direct Plus has 2 ¼ inputs and 2 XLR outputs. It is very small and portable, it will fit in your jeans pocket it is so small. I originally got this to boost up some signals and it has done just that for me. I am so happy that it only cost me 40 dollars. I have been using it for 5 years now and still using it often to this day.
SOUND QUALITY
While using the Samson S Direct Plus I have noticed a lot of improvements in sound quality coming from some of our acoustic guitars by using it in the signal chain.
OVERALL OPINION
From the first time that I purchased the Samson S Direct Plus 5 years ago I knew that I would end up having more of them and now I have 4 of them. I do not use them all at the same time though, I keep 2 at home and 2 in my gig and equipment bags for when I am doing shows or in other studios. It has come in handy to have this little device with me at all times because you never know when you will need it. It is built to last you a long time and after you get one of them you will want to have more of them. You just can’t beat this price.
