How to choose between this passive model & an active one? Intention is convert unbalanced output from computer to balanced to send to active speakers.

The output from a computer is stereo. You would need the dual model to have 2 channels, left and right. It will work, but I have never had anyone use the product this way.

Hi. If I connect my instrument to the 2 1/4” input jacks, can I use the 1/8” stereo jack as a parallel instrument level output?

No, the 1/8” stereo jack is an input not an output.

Is this good also for electric guitar? I use a pedal board with amp simulator

Yes, it should work fine with your setup…

Will this work on a pc? i have a 1/8" onboard sound going to a allen&heath board. the pc introduces a loud hum

Yes with an 1/8” to 1/4” cable.
