THEY DON'T FRIGGIN EXIST, WHY!!!! - anyone know

Basically, I'm looking for a battery phantom powered Direct Box.

I know this is kinda OT - but it's really been cheesing me off.

Thanks for any input?

The Behringer Ultra-DI has been around for ten years or so - we have four that we use in all kinds of applications, mostly for feeding video cameras or remote amps from sound mixers.

does that take XLR in and put out 1/4"?

(does it matter if the XLR in is bal/unbal? - spec says unbal in.

I think I have one...and right now for the life of me I can not find it. I think it is like the Boss DI-1, except with XLR in.

Hmmm..how about the Jenson/Radial JS3? Would that work?

Features electrically isolated XLR I/O, a direct throughput with ground lift, and 2 transformer-isolated outputs. Has a 30dB pad, delivers 48V DC phantom power for microphones, has a ground lift, and has common mode noise rejection up to -100dB at 60Hz.

Here's mine. Don't know if it will fit your bill .. but it works great for me . .and it is real cheap! LOADSA XLRs and jacks and faders and .. al sorts. I really don't know how they do it for £78GPs
