What is the best direct box to use with an XS and a Hammond SKI? I get big buzz from both.  Sometimes Line Level Shifter helps - other times it doesn’t - this weekend sound guy had a radial direct box was better than line level shifter - which had horrible buzz.  I know there is probably a better one that works for the keyboards - not sure which to get. Would appreciate any input.[

I use one of These for my stereo feed to the FOH board.  Excellent box, completely solved my ground buzz issues...without even having to employ the ground lift on the box!

I have the mono version of that Radial DI and it’s excellent, great sound and it’s passive no worries about batteries or phantom power. Highly recommended.

I’ve been using these RAPCO D.I. boxes for years for my keys! Best $25 I ever spent. Just plug into the ground lift.

Don’t know if it will work as a direct box, but I don’t really see why not.... I use “EBTECH Hum Eliminator” for live performance… completely eliminates any hum, works great for me.  Good luck.
