Radial Pro48 Active 48-Volt Compact Direct Box

Impressed! Makes your instruments stand out and louder than other direct boxes. I would recommend

Works well for our church setting.

Exactly as Radial describes, the guts of a J48 without all the bells and whistles. Means great durability and sound quality for an even better price. These are now my go-to DI for stage applications. The pad makes it workable with active preamps and line level instruments so there is no active/passive question to worry about. To the 1&2star reviews. Active DI’s require phantom and these do not take batteries. That could make it appear to be DOA if you don’t know what you’re doing. Phantom also spotlights crappy cables. You’ll get crackling and popping with an intermittent phantom power connection. I use these with good quality connectors and I seriously doubt one would make it out of the factory with a bum XLR jack causing a loose connection. The description of the problem sounds like you’re using a cheap and/or abused cable that needs replacing.

I've been using this for nine years. Fantastic build quality and performance. All the features a DI needs. Reasonable price. Buy it and you'll be using it for the rest of your life.

Best quality company

They die if droped the wrong way Transformer inside gets loose. Don't drop

After purchasing a couple of noisy, low-quality DI boxes from Pyle, I decided that I was working against myself. I purchased this DI box from Radial and I am blown away by the sound quality and solid construction. It really is a night and day difference between this and the cheaper options. Buy it!

This item sits perfectly with my acoustic guitars. Very clear and crisp signal. I wish I could buy 3 more for the shelf.

The device is what it says that it is. It functions as described and as needed. There isn't much complexity in its application. A simple device that serves its purpose. The device is rugged, dependable and doesn't add a significant amount of noise. What more would you want?

Excelente producto. Justo como se especifica.

Purchased the Pro48 to connect my passive-pickup Fender bass to the mixing board. Noiseless signal delivery. Uses phantom power from the mixer. My third Radial DI product, all giving outstanding performance, rugged build, and a reasonable price. Buy Canadian!

Tenía problemas de distorsión grabando un bajo Rickenbacker. Esta caja directa Radial me ayudó a recuperar el tono que perdía al bajar el volumen. Quizá en un estudio bien armado tengan equipos que funcionen de igual manera , pero si grabas en casa como yo, no te arrepentirás. Es un aparato de muy buena calidad y debo agregar que también me ayudó con guitarras eléctricas sin amplificar.

Si buscas grabar guitarra o bajo sin un amplificador es indispensable tener una de estas para que la señal sea la correcta antes de la interfaz. El hi-z de las interfaces no se le acerca en nada.
