Radial ProDI 1-channel Passive Instrument Direct Box

Description: The Radial ProDI is a high-quality, passive mono direct box that's perfect for use with acoustic guitars, bass guitars, electric pianos, and synthesizers. The ProDI's custom transformer helps to deliver the highest performance possible, virtually eliminating issues with noise. And, as with all Radial DI boxes, the ProDI is incredibly reliable and easy to use — just plug in your mono instrument and instantly eliminate ground loops, while enjoying a rich, full sound. If you need the same excellent quality in a stereo version, Radial also offers the ProD2 stereo version.

Raidal ProDI Passive Mono Direct Box at a Glance: Full-range passive direct box Custom isolation transformer eliminates noise Really easy to use Built like a tank Passive vs. Active DI The Radial ProDI and ProD2 (stereo version) are full-range passive direct boxes. Active direct boxes employ electronic circuits to change the impedance from hi-Z to lo-Z and balance the signal. Passive DIs instead employ a simple passive transformer to do the work. Active DIs require batteries, 48V phantom-power or external power supplies to power their circuits, while passive transformer-equipped direct boxes do not require any power to perform their task. The advantage of a transformer over typical active circuits can be summarized as "a great device to reduce system noise" in a sound system. To accomplish the task of noise elimination, the Radial ProDI and ProD2 features first-class transformers and require no batteries or power supply. Custom Isolation Transformer The Radial ProDI is equipped with a custom-made audio transformer, which provides exceptional signal handling without saturation. More importantly, the ProDI's custom transformer has extremely low phase distortion in the critical bass and mid regions. The ProDI's transformer provides 100% isolation, to eliminate hum- and noise-causing ground loops, while maintaining signal integrity. Inside the ProDI you'll also find isolated XLR connectors, to eliminate chassis ground potential, as well as a military-spec PC board, with a full surface ground plane to reduce susceptibility to RF noise. The result is exceptional clarity and definition, at an attractive price point. Really Easy to Use The best feature of the ProDI is "plug and play" ease of use. All you do is connect the instrument to the 1/4" inputs, the 1/4" through jack to the stage amplifier(s) or mixer and the XLR output to the mixing console and you are done. Any distortion? Hit the -15dB pad. Any noise? Just depress the ground lift switch. You will find that with acoustic guitars and basses, the natural tone of the instrument will shine through with a smooth and musical rendering. For electrically powered devices, such as keyboards, the ProDI will immediately eliminate troublesome ground loops while delivering solid dynamics, with a full rich sound. Solid Construction Look inside a ProDI and you'll find the build quality and components to be of only the highest professional standards. Radial's proven construction methods and materials ensure years of trouble-free service — able to withstand the rigors of the most demanding, high-use professional environments. Radial pioneered the use of its innovative "book cover" design, which provides a protective zone around the switches and connectors that keep the components safe. The 14-gauge welded I-beam inner chassis and 14-gauge outer shell found in the ProD2 and ProDI greatly reduce the possibility of torque stresses being applied to the PC board. Stress on circuit boards causes broken and intermittent solder joints, a common cause of failure in commercial rental and other high-use environments. A full bottom no-slip rubber pad works double-duty by providing protection from electrical shock and making sure these DI's stay put.
