W2IHY I-Box (GREAT) Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Got the box to end a noisy hum on transmit. I called the (800) number and within 10 mins, I had it ordered.. I got the IBOX in two days and hooked it up...Instantly it had no hum, and I wired the 756pro in the back with a cable I ordered with the IBOX>>>> Ausome Sound>>>>>>

Outstanding in every way! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently had the opportunity to buy an IBox from W2IHY, Julius Jones, and my experience was extraordinary. The quality is first class and his patient advice on the telephone was priceless. I received the IBox the day after I spoke with him, installed it in minutes and it works flawlessly. Thank you Julius!

It works, period. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Great little device and fun kit to build. It wasn't difficult at all and anyone with basic soldering skills will have no problem.

I use a Marshall MLX-990 condensor fed into a Behringer VX-2000 Ultra Voice processor into a Behringer MX-802 mixer. I use the aux send output to feed the iBox. The iBox adjusts the levels to suit and isolates the audio as advertised.

This is exactly what I needed match my "pro" audio into my TS-570. I give the iBox a 5.

Julius Has Done It Again! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Julius has done it again. First let me start by saying that I have the W2IHY 8 band EQ and that is a wonderful unit for the starter and audiophile alike. I think it is imperative to have one of these units in line if you want good audio. I have the 8 band EQ inline with all my other audio gear and this unit is flawless. I then decided to purchase the I-box from Julius as I have a new radio and I wanted to interface the Audio differently into each box. Well, this unit can do that for you. When I ordered this unit Julius called me to be sure what equipment I was using in conjunction with this I-box so he was sure I was getting a unit that appropriately matched the equipment I was using.

I recommend anything that Julius makes for a few reasons. First, His customer service is far superior to that of most companies. In fact if you send him and email you can pretty much expect an immediate response if he isn’t already on the phone with you. If he doesn’t get back to you right away that is because he is already helping another customer. Secondly, he makes a good product that works and he cares about what he puts out there unlike some other companies. I would never hesitate to purchase something from Julius because I know that not only am I getting a good product but I am getting great customer service from someone that cares.

Like eating cake Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've been using the ibox for couple years and it's hands down the easiest way to connect a pro mic to your rig.

Glad back then I ran across Julius's site. Saved me time trying to figure out how to attenuate the mic signal and build the interface.

Outstanding! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I called Julius to inquire about my problem with buzz and hum in my audio after connecting a Behringer DEQ-2496. After explaining to me that I would need a variable attenuator of some sort like the I-Box I went ahead and ordered a kit. 3 days after the box came and to my surprise it was an assembled one that he sent (ran out of kits) at the same price! What else can I say, the unit performed well and the service is great. Keep up the good work Julius!

A Unique Product that Works Well Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
First of all, the customer service from Julius is outstanding. Prior to even purchasing this unit, Julius was willing to take time to answer all my silly questions on the phone. Customer service is top notch, and this company ships at lightning speed.

The unit is well built, and the documentation is fine.

I use mine to interface between a mixing console and my Icom 756 Pro III. It works great.

I also purchased audio cables from Julius for the front and rear inputs for my rig. These cables are well built as well. No problems with anything.

I would not hesitate to recommend the IBox to anyone.

Audio Interface Solution! Time Owned: N.A.
Without taking up too much space let me say I agree with everything that has been written here about this superb little unit- it does exactly what it is supposed to do which is a rarity in this day & age. I run my iBox between a Symetrix 528e voice processor & an Icom 775 DSP feeding direct to the balanced modulator of the radio - perfect control & drive levels. I also ordered the interface cables required from Julius & was impressed with the very high quality when they arrived. The service from Julius is second to none - I emailed him with a query & he phoned me here in the UK within the hour to discuss requirements - THATS SERVICE! If you are serious about playing with audio you need the iBOX, it's a 'cure all' for just about every audio chain problem you may run into. Color me happy!!
