Well considering they're pretty much 'the' DI box, what are you wanting to know?

For years and years and years they were the #1 go-to, most asked-for DI box on the planet. Now it seem that Radial is filling that role. I think this is only because the Radial doesn't have a battery slot to leave a battery in that gets corroded and gross when forgotten about.


But yeah, what's the question?

Not really anymore. Like Tim says. Radials have supplanted the Countryman, BSS and KT DI boxes starting about 15-20 years ago...
