Problem solver for stereo systems

The SB-6 helps remove noise from two channel audio systems, stereo guitar racks, and pedalboards. Two on-board isolation transformers provide a flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz, while removing hum and buzz from ground loops. Dual ground lift switches help further reduce noise, and a -15dB pad allows you to handle high volume outputs without distortion. When using the SB-6 before a set of powered speakers or guitar amplifiers, a polarity reverse switch corrects frequency cancellation and ensures both speakers play back in phase with one another. The SB-6 is completely passive with no need for power, so it's easy to insert into any system to remove noise quickly.

  • Isolator for balanced and unbalanced signals
  • Eliminates hum and buzz caused by ground loops
  • Exceptionally linear from 20Hz to 20kHz
  • Automatically configures for hi-Z or lo-Z signal chains

  • Left Phase
    Reverses the polarity on the left output to help phase-align stereo signals.
  • Pad
    Reduces the input sensitivity by 15dB for louder sources.
  • Input
    1/4" balanced TRS or unbalanced input. The StageBug SB-6 will auto-configure depending on the jack that is used.
