Radial Engineering J48 - Single Ch Active DI Box

Most battery-powered guitars and basses will produce as much as 7 Volts when played at maximum volume, which can easily overload typical active direct boxes which have are only able to handle about 3 Volts. The J48 uses a unique switching power supply that raises the internal rail voltage so it can handle up to an incredible 9 Volts, resulting in improved signal handling and greater headroom. This additional headroom significantly reduces distortion of all types, allowing the natural tone and character of the instrument to shine through.

• Low power consumption, high 10V internal rail voltage for extended headroom; advanced design accommodates high output levels from active instruments
• Internal timing chip and switching transformer maintain smooth rail voltage transition and headroom on input
• Highly durable 14-gauge welded steel chassis
• Dual function inputs with 2-channel merge feature
• 1/4" Thru connector and XLR output connector for simultaneous sends to console, amplifier
• Polarity reverse switch
• Ground Lift and Pad switches
• 80 Hz filter eliminates low end rumble, creates 3 dB of additional headroom
• No-slip bottom padding maintains positioning, protects unit from ground contamination
