Radial Pro DI Passive Direct Box

As the leader of the sound team in my congregation, I found myself regularly fetching replacement direct boxes for the Berhringer and other brand boxes on stage, due to noise or him, insufficient gain or just a dead box. What I noticed over time is that I never had to replace any of the Radial boxes, and in fact the musicians would sometimes ask me specifically for one. So I started stocking up on them and eventually replaced all of the other boxes with Radials. Now I simply don't worry about the boxes at all--they just work and they work well.These boxes are compact and simple, they sound great with no audible noise, and they're solid as a rock. The Pro D2 stereo boxes are just as reliable, and I've purchased a few of those to cover our keyboardists and drum sets with success.We have a couple powered Pro48 boxes that work well, but at some point I hope to have passive direct boxes exclusively, and leave the phantom power for our condenser microphones. These passive boxes are perhaps the most reliable component in all our sound equipment and I highly recommend to all musicians and venues, big or small.

Used for worship team at church. The best sound ever at a reasonable price.

You may notice: this DI box only has 4 and 5 star ratings. Its wonderful. I wanted to get the JDI though money was tight and I was using points on my credit card to make the purchase. I went with this because I only needed the basics anyway.I keep this in my utility bag. Many venues already have a DI and I just use what they have. Some smaller places may have basic sound equipment though no extras like DIs or adapters. In a situation like this you may get through the show with no issues though after using this, I realize when going direct into a board DI isn't just convenient: it's a necessity. It makes a world of difference.I played a spot recently and this box saved the performance: we were having issues with sound and once we were able to get signal there was a lot of extra noise. Using the ground lift eliminated the hum and buzzing and kept the guitar signal strong. I actually now prefer putting my guitar and vocals through a pa/mixer because it's less for me to carry to the place and exceptional sound. I would recommend this DI box as a great sounding and problem solving way to go direct in. I think it's the only way to go.

I've tried some less expensive DI boxes, and while they work OK, they don't sound quite as good as these. The Radial DI boxes are an industry standard and will likely last me a lifetime. I prefer to record direct from my amps rather than mic them (for a number of reasons not discussing here). These boxes plug directly into the speaker outputs of solid state guitar amps with no issues and provide clean signals to my interface.

Made like a tank !!Well worth the price !

As a professional musician who's day job is an audio engineer, I use these constantly. I would not buy a different brand, they're worth the money. Silent, reliable, and bulletproof makes this the industry standard. I use this one for my own music, to run my keyboard to house backlines/PA systems. It's always going to ensure a good clean signal with no hum.

Fantastic product! Shipping was great and arrived as promised. Thank You

I purchased this a few weeks ago. I use it mainly for live concerts, and I tell you what, it has made such a positive impact on the sound of my Bajoquinto. For those of you who don't know, a Bajoquinto is basically a 10 string guitar, commonly used in traditional style Norteno Bands. That said, I highly recommend this product. - Jose Magana

Conosco la qualità Radial perché ho altri loro prodotti ma fino a poco tempo fa non avevo bisogno di una DI e soprattutto con 2 output. Ne ho provata una di altra marca, economica, ma l'ho dovuta restituire subito.. con questa PRO DI ho risolto il problema! Qualità del suono restituito eccezionale, lo valorizza senza colorarlo. Robustezza di un carrarmato. La qualità si paga e con i prodotti Radial Engineering si va a colpo sicuro ad occhi chiusi. Venditore eccezionale: il tutto è arrivato con 1 giorno di anticipo e impacchettato con cura e protezione più che adeguata.

I use it with electric guitar and bass and it does a great job of eliminating the previous hiss and hum that was present on my recordings.It does so while adding more definition and clarity to the notes.On the bass I feel it adds higher frequencies in a pleasant manner.

1) Ya lo tengo probado por aproximadamente unos 4 meses y el artículo es muy bueno.2) Su función PAD funciona correctamente3) El material de fabricación es muy resistente4) El precio podría ser algo caro, pero la verdad es que vale mucho la pena por la calidad de audio que se mantiene, los materiales de fabricación, la función PAD y diseño.

Does a great job on my active guitar pick ups.Love it.

Je conseille. Cette DI est simple et efficace et moins cher que d'autres.
