  yoTrakkz's review "lots of options"

  Characteristics

  The Radial PRODI is a high quality, single channel direct input box. It is an analog unit and just has two 1/4 inch connections - one is an input to plug your instrument or signal into and the other is a through output to send your signal someplace else if you so desire. The Radial PRODI is not in rack form and is a box that can sit on top of your rack space.

  Utilization

  The configuration of the Radial PRODI is quite easy to follow as it just has a limited amount of parameters and options. It has two knobs - one for boost and one for tone, as well as buttons for high cut, and for choosing either speaker signal or active to input, and also has a button to put the tone in and out. It also has two LED meters for monitoring your signal and for power. I don't have a manual for the Radial PRODI , but it is easy to use and you really don't need it if you don't already have one.

  Sound Quality

  The sound quality of the Radial PRODI is really top notch as far as direct input boxes go. It has way more parameters available to control your tone than most DI boxes which adds to its versatility. The Radial PRODI is great for anything that you would want to capture with a direct input signal, but I use it most for bass guitar and keyboards. It definitely presents and accurate picture of the sound that you trying to capture and won't color your tone at all. The Radial PRODI is just about as good as it gets for a DI box.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using the Radial PRODI for about two years and it is probably the best direct input box that I've used. It gives you a lot of options over your tone and I always find that I get great sounding results with it. The price isn't cheap, but it is really designed for professionals and for this reason I really wouldn't recommend it for home studio owners. Overall, the Radial PRODI is truly a great sounding direct input box.

  moosers's review

  Characteristics

  The Radial Engineering ProDI and ProD2 are both direct input boxes with the same make up, the only difference being that ProDI is mono, and the ProD2 is stereo. This review is for the ProDI mono version of the DI box, as this is the one that I have experience with, but keep in mind that they have the same configuration and the only difference is that one is stereo and one is mono. The ProDI has 1/4" TRS connections for input and thru, and an XLR output to send it to your console and/or interface. Other features include buttons for a ground lift and a -15db pad.

  Utilization

  There isn't much to using the Radial Engineering ProDI at all as everything should be able to decipher without the assistance of a manual. Simply make your connections and you're good to go. The ground lift and pad both come in handy more often than not, so it is certainly nice to have these features. Beyond this, there isn't much to know about make up of the ProDI.

  Sound Quality

  As far as stand alone direct input boxes go, the Radial Engineering ProDI is one of the better models that I have experience with. I've used it to record bass guitar, in tandem with a mic'd up bass amplifier. Bass guitar is probably the most recorded instrument through a DI box, but this would definitely work well for getting any sort of direct signal, as it will reproduce your signal accurately and faithfully without adding any sound or noise of its own.

  Overall Opinion

  When it comes to DI boxes, Radial Engineering is one of if not the best in the business, and the ProDI is one of their best and most affordable models. Suitable for both professional and home studio owners looking for a DI box, the ProDI is a great investment that will last a lifetime as it is built like a brick! Highly recommended for studio owners of any kind...

  The_Archdude's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Di I possde quality passive version 2 votes.
  
  It's simple, effective against a broad spectrum of sound, transparent APRS me.
  
  ground lift buttons +-15dB

  Utilization

  In addition to using the DI can be used and reverse, so you can make REAMPING, search the net too lazy to explain.
  
  I also used to put effects on my voice.
  
  MIC -> cable XLR -> XLR female adapter female -> Voice 1 reverse Prodi -> various effects -> DI Pro Voice 2 -> table mix
  
  But beware it is easier to go through an insert in the mixer but the ca and access to the effects the feet and to live démerder when the table has no insert (in my case repeated)

  Sound Quality

  All we ask for an ID that price (mid-range, as some are much more expensive) in any way they know how to make radial DIs. Check out the site to be convinced. They are Describes every angle, it shows they trust their products.

  Overall Opinion

  This is useful in lots of cases to have a passive DI, and limits the Infringements of land. 2 votes to have one, super strong, with an end-mtal which protects the taking of cables, compact, not too heavy, it's really IDAL.
