Product Description

High-performance 48V phantom-powered active direct box designed for higher output instruments. It's digital switching power supply significantly increases headroom and allows for less distortion while yielding a smooth, linear response. Its wide bandwidth (20Hz to over 100kHz) results in natural, uncolored signal transfer. Has 15dB pad. The Radial Pro48's innovative digital switching power supply significantly increases headroom and allows for less distortion while yielding a smooth, linear response extending from 20Hz to well above 100kHz resulting in natural, uncolored signal transfer. This superior performance makes the Pro48 an ideal candidate for use with today's battery-powered active basses and acoustic guitars that tend to overload other direct boxes. The compact Pro48 is built road-ready with 14-gauge steel in a unique bookend design that provides protective zones around the switches and connectors. The internal welded I-beam construction assures outside stress will not torque the PC board thus assuring longer product life. Pro48 - typical applications The Pro48 is designed for high-use applications wherever an active direct box is called for. A 15dB pad switch is provided to tame hot signal and expands the range of instrument preamps and the ground lift switch helps eliminate hum and buzz problems caused by ground loops.

PASSIVE OR ACTIVE?.... WHICH DI IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
5 Stars
PASSIVE OR ACTIVE?.... WHICH DI IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
The most simple rule of thumb is this, if you have a pre-amplified ACTIVE instrument that runs on 9v or 48v phantom power, you want to use a PASSIVE DI BOX, coz you do not need a powered DI to run a powered instrument. If your instrument has standard PASSIVE PICKUPS (which means your pickups do not require batteries to operate), you want to use an ACTIVE DI BOX, which gives a signal boost to your instrument, so your amp and I/O get a clearer signal from low powered instruments. Use this simple chart to help choose the right DI for you.INSTRUMENT DI BOXGUITAR/BASS with Active pickups PASSIVEGUITAR/BASS with Passive pickups ACTIVEACOUSTIC/KEYS with onboard Active pre-amp PASSIVEACOUSTIC/PIANO with passive mic/pickups ACTIVEIt's pretty simple, but this is how Radial explains it. Oh, and remember that the DI goes between your instrument and the amp or I/O your interfacing with, do not go between the amp head to your speaker cab. (See image for proper layout of the signal chain).
