SOUND QUALITY

Beware if looking for transparency is your quest, this product is to discover, for if one seeks against staining, go your way ... this is not for you ...

I discovered this by accident. My boss had made a comparison between a DI Radial and Avalon, a Lower, who then came home on a Studer console ...
I am blind and I found cost gniale the difference between the two sources, I immediately recognized the Avalon ...
Avalon color (too much or not enough for my taste, but only my opinion) with Radial sound is transparant ... transients are well respected, there is no boost particulire. .. It breathes ... There is no crushing of the signal ...

40Khz bandwidth should be enough to keep toadflax 20 20k, right?

I love its transparency ... and more design exudes quality has beefy air ... We hear about it in 10 years ...
I tried diffrente DI front, Country Man, BSS, Berhinger, but still not as big DI Manley and Chandler ... I'm not color the sound partisant taking with DI, but rather to pramplis or mix with well doss effects. I was looking for 2 DI for keyboards or for acoustic instruments, I utlis at work, I found concrete, and when I went to the site, I saw all the characters tics, and I realized what I had heard ... It's srieux ...

As for qualitprix report, it is excellent ... I have found 2 on Ebay USA for $ 400 (shipping included). 185 our friend across the Rhine, Toto ...

If I just bought 2 for me, it is not by chance that I made this choice ... Go !!! Yet something more to the tools, bringing everywhere !!!

The Radial 48 is a day active DI box analog that is used exclusively with phantom power via the mixer (48v).
1 input jack, 1 thru jack and XLR male output.
On the side push switch input 2: - 15 db and 1 merge.
On the side push switch output 3: Ground, Low cut and Polarity
1 LED to verify power 48v is sent. It is a pressure on the low cut switch that allows this check. LED can shine that at this time. I see it as a fault, but not wanting to lose Radial says no millivolt, all for her.
(Must see!)

UTILIZATION

The J48 is for confident musicians sound their instruments and eager to find this in a grain mix it in the studio or on stage.
Function merge to me personally is of no use, it is an adder for two input sources to a single output.
The low cut proves very effective on a rumble from below the stage to an electro-acoustic.
The ground lift and polarity inverter can adapt to all situations and configurations.

SOUND QUALITY

This is why this DI. The sound of the instrument is perfectly reproduced. The tone knob on my Fender Precision becoming effective as ever. The wear of the ropes, then attack all these parameters are shelled over time find yourself their superb.

OVERALL OPINION

I personally discovered for two weeks. But as a professional stage it's been a long time that I see the gradual replacement of Ar 133 other brands including Radial. Musicians always pinailleront too.
Radial seems to be a mark in line with the world of music together technicians and musicians with a common language. The radial J48 is acclaimed by both sides which to me means everything.

DI analog

1 XLR output (to sound card)

switch:
ground lift
low cut
-15 Db
phase inversion

UTILIZATION

easy to use

SOUND QUALITY

very good DI allows me to record the guitar signal directly while playing on my amp (by me)!
with the X-amp I pass the signal REAMP in my head and the result is identical to the original.
very good return signal so

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years for shooting guitars live (for the réamping) with the X-amp from the same manufacturer!

excellent

Active direct box (analog).
Phantom power required, a change is possible for the use of 9V battery (contact the provider ... not tested!).

Opportunity to put 8 in a 19 "rack.

Connections:
- 1 input jack
- 1 link jack (we'll talk about below)
- 1 XLR

Switch:
- Ground Lift 1
- A-15dB PAD
- A 180 ° phase switch
- 1 cup bottom 80hz/6dB
- Merge one (we'll talk about below)

Merge function:
By activating the "Merge" the DI DI is a two-input (INPUT and LINK) on a single mono output, it can be of service ...

As for technical features, here are the manufacturer's data:

Dynamic range: 130dB
Signal to Noise: 119dB @ 100Hz
Maximum input: 10V
Frequency range: 10Hz ~ 40kHz
Linearity 20 ~ 20kHz: 0.1dB
Phase coherence: 10 º at 20Hz
0 º at 1kHz
Distortion at 20Hz: <0.5%
Input impedance: 220 kOhm
Output impedance: 600 Ohm

UTILIZATION

Using classical merge function (see below feature) may be practical.

Manual in English, so I do not like is that 8 note, especially coming from a Canadian manufacturer!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is very well rendered, with no coloring and with very good dynamics, no breath unlike some cheap DI ... even with the CSA initiated the input level is pushed to compensate ...

OVERALL OPINION

Certainly I have just acquired, but the difference is obvious from the first second compared to my old DI cheap home Beh ......

Test on 6-string active bass, it restores the registry perfectly sound of the instrument.

The ability to put 8 in a 19 "is convenient as needed in the world of sound, with the advantage of putting different model in this rack ...
