I was asked to get a "radial prod2 2-channel passive instrument direct box", is this a comparable product? what are the differences?

Hi! 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!

Isn't this the exact same thing as the behringer ultra-di di400p with a whirlwind logo on it?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

Perfect for a compact trigger rig! Night and day difference over cheap DIs!

I paired the Whirlwind IMP 2 with my TM-2 for my compact, "handy-dandy" trigger rig. Let me tell you, this little box is pure plug-and-play. I used to run a cheap, generic DI box, but I was constantly battling signal inconsistencies and weak tone. Switching to the IMP 2 made a night-and-day difference. The Sound: My TM-2 kick drum sample instantly sounded more powerful, punchy, and full. The Size: It is incredibly compact—a massive space-saver for tight stage setups. Our Live Signal Chain: We don't run a personal stage mixer. Instead, this DI plugs directly into our band's shared rack system. Our sound engineer handles the pre-EQ and gain-stages everything directly from the board to adapt to each venue's specific room acoustics. The Only Caveat (and how to handle it): This little tank is designed with a fixed, built-in attenuation (shaved-off gain) to prevent clipping, distortion, and unwanted peaks. It outputs a slightly quieter signal, but it’s an easy fix: you just need to properly gain-stage it on your band's mixer or the front-of-house board. If you want a reliable, road-ready DI that won't fail you on stage, skip the cheap stuff and grab this. Highly recommended!
