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.

Using only 48V phantom power, the Radial J48 is an active direct box that produces an exceptionally linear response that extends from 20Hz up to well above 40kHz. Low distortion of all types is achieved via a unique digital switching power supply that raises the internal operating rail voltage for added headroom and improved signal handling. The results are truly amazing. The J48 delivers an ideal even-order harmonic cascade and a sonic performance that outperforms DIs costing several hundreds more.

And like all Radial products, the J48 is both feature-rich for studio and made tough to handle the road. This includes a -15dB input pad to tame extra loud signals, 180º polarity reverse for feedback control on stage and a ground lift to help reduce hum & buzz caused by ground loops. Special features include a merge function that elegantly mixes left-right signals to mono without phase cancellation. To minimize resonant feedback with acoustic instruments, the J48 is also equipped with an 80Hz high-pass filter (low-cut). When engaged, this also increases headroom by eliminating unneeded bass frequencies.

Radial’s innovative book-end design protects switches and connectors from abuse while the internal I-beam construction eliminates stress on the PC board. This serves to reduce solder joints from going ‘cold’ and delivers trouble-free performance for years. A full-bottom no-slip pad provides mechanical and electrical isolation while providing plenty of ‘stay-put’ for rockin’ stages!

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:

  • Ultra low distortion of all types
  • Exceptional headroom & dynamic range
  • Retains instrument’s natural sound
  • Powered by 48V phantom

At dbx, when we do something, we do it right. So when we decided to create our new direct injection boxes, we didnʼt settle for the same old tired approach to direct box design. With our dbx name on the line, how could we? One look at our new dB10 Passive and dB12 Active direct boxes will tell you that these are clearly different. With their bullet-proof construction, and extraordinary audio performance to rival their looks, finally thereʼs a direct box worthy of the dbx name.

Utilizing custom dbx mu-metal-shielded audio transformers, high-quality Neutrik® connectors, and low-noise circuitry preserves the sonic integrity and true characteristics of the signal source. Both boxes include a pad switch that accomodates instrument, line and even speaker level signals. Take even more control of your sound by utilizing the polarity invert switch to set the phase relationship between the direct and mic'd sound.

As a professional, you donʼt have time for interference, so weʼve included a ground lift switch to solve potential hum and buzz problems due to ground loops. And between the combined shielding of the cast metal chassis and the custom-wound transformer, you can be doubly assured of a clean signal free from interference. All of this sits atop a solid, stable footprint, that will keep the box from being dragged around the stage, and the unique contoured underside allows secure stacking of multiple units.

So whether you need to control the level, placement in the mix, or overall characteristics of 4 independent signals or control the gain leveling on a couple of stereo pairs, the dbx dB10 dB12 is for you.

    The ARX DI-PLUS 2 represents another major step forward in active direct boxes. Packaged in
    a single channel stand-alone format, the DI-PLUS 2 represents a fresh look at active stereo
    D.I. concepts.

    Precision engineered
    Ultra quiet, ultra clean circuitry delivers maximum headroom whatever the signal. Premium grade
    components, plus an all-steel chassis gives excellent hum and noise specifications and superb
    audio quality in a tough, roadworthy package. Accurate Left and Right channel level matching keeps
    the stereo image centred.

    Level control
    The DI-PLUS 2 features two high impedance unbalanced inputs on the front panel, running to balanced
    XLR outputs on the rear. A a global Pad switch drops inputs by 20dB, making it suitable for all applications
    from the softest keyboard to the hottest broadcast levels.
     
    Battery compartment
    The revolutionary simple 'clamshell' action of the DI-PLUS 2 battery compartment makes battery changing
    extremely easy, even on the darkest stages.
    A 9v alkaline battery snaps into a PCB mounted battery holder for fast, secure location. No fragile battery clip
    leads to break, no tools required, no screws to lose. Production crew heaven!
     
    Automatic Phantom switching
    The DI-PLUS 2 will automatically switch itself to the console's own Phantom Power, if available, and an LED
    will indicate this mode. Turn the Phantom Power off and it will instantly revert back to battery mode.

    Rugged all-steel case
    A lot of direct boxes are fitted into brittle cast alloy cases. Not this one! The tough all-steel inner and outer
    chassis of the DI-PLUS 2 provide excellent RF/EMF shielding while making it a sturdy, heavy duty unit that
    is hard to dislodge, and hard to leave behind.
     
    Rear panel showing Left and Right XLR connectors, ground lift switch, battery check switch and LED, plus
    phantom power On LED and captive screw for opening up the unit for battery changing
     
    Whether you're a Studio or Live Sound engineer, installation contractor, or broadcast engineer, you want all
    the dynamics,clarity and stereo information of the original sound source transferred to the mixing console.
    The ARX DI-PLUS 2 provides a rugged, no-compromise solution to all stereo direct injection and signal
    balancing requirements.
