Radial J48 Active Direct Box

Product Information

If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered If you do a lot of gigs where you're using your bass amp on stage but also going through the house/band PA, where you've never really been happy with the bass sound from the PA or in your monitor, then the Radial J48 is the box for you! Neve RNDI: Looks wise, this is clearly the winner of the three. Like the BSS, it sounds very clear, even, and moderate in the lows.

After years of cheap DI boxes or using the crappy DI out from an amp, the difference in using this box is night and day. I play mainly passive basses, so this active DI box gives the signal a fat boost that sounds great in a live mix, giving you tons of confidence that your tone is shining through. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty The Radial J48 has been designed from the ground up to deliver the most natural tone. As a direct box manufacturer, we do not believe it is our task to alter the sound of your prized '1962 Fender Jazz Bass', but retain and transfer the true character of the instrument to the mixing console without adding distortion or introducing artifact. This design philosophy has gained a tremendous following from many of the world's most demanding musicians. The Radial J48 is used by artists as diverse as acoustic guitarist Tommy Emmanuel; super-star engineer Joe Chiccarelli; and one of the most successful bands of all time Fleetwood Mac. The Radial J48… the world's finest 48V phantom powered active direct box. Features More headroom. And more dynamic range. The J48 is the perfect companion for your guitars, basses, and high output line level instruments. Unlike typical active DI boxes, the J48 won’t overload when you play at maximum volume. Thanks to its unique switching power supply, the internal rail voltage can be raised to handle up to 9 volts. That means improved signal handling for virtually noise free operation. You’ll get natural tone and character, every single time. FeaturesRadial J48: It looks good, and also definitely feels sturdy enough. The sound is noticably warmer than the BSS, more analogue sounding. It sounds great, but definitely coloured. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The Radial JPC stereo computer DI was designed to overcome that problem, and it does so very well. I've been using it recently to interface my laptop with a sound system to play high-quality audio demonstrations during technical lectures, with great success.

Compact input transformers provide the isolation, with active circuitry, comprising a pair of LM833N FET op amps, driving the outputs.

Applications

The BSS and the Neve sound the most natural and clear, which is what I am looking for in a DI. I want the cleanest sound possible to feed to a pre-amp. However, the sound difference between these two is very small to my ears. So small, that it doesn?t warrant the price difference. For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
