Jensen-equipped passive direct box

Show full description »

The Radial J48 is a great sounding active direct box that has been optimized to produce maximum headroom while working within the limited current available from standard 48V phantom power. By employing a unique switching power supply, the J48 is capable of peak transients to 9 volts without choking. The result is lower harmonic distortion, half the inter-modulation distortion and significantly improved dynamics over other DIs.

Features include a -15dB pad, 180º polarity reverse, a unique merge function to mix two signals to mono, an 80Hz high-pass rumble filter, and ground lift. Like all Radial products, the J48 is built to handle the abuse on the road and features a unique welded I-beam construction for years of trouble free performance.

Radial Engineering JDI Reviews

9/10

Totally transparent

— Matt June 27, 2007

I'm a bass player but don't hold that against me.

My bass rig has a DI out and so does the all-valve pre-amp I used in the studio but I was looking for a simple, passive DI I could take on those 'travelling REALLY light' gigs.

I wanted something that would not colour the tone or dynamics of the basses I use a straightforward plugin-and-play box and with the Radial JDI I found it.

It's not a cheap DI - particularly for a completely passive item - but it blows away anything else I've tried.

Neither, if I'm honest, is it actually that light - however it is exactly what I was looking for, a no-nonsense, quiet as can be, transparent connection between my bass and the desk.

In fact I've started taking it on all my gigs now because I've found that on the odd occasion stray hum from the lighting rig messes up my feed to the desk the Radial JDI will nail it for me!

I can't give it a 10 because nothing man-made is ever perfect but if 9.5 was available the Radial JDI would get it from me.

Highly recommended - give it a shot!

Price Matching

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

Please fill in the following form to request a price match.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

If we are unable to verify the previous condition, we will notify you that we require additional information to verify the Price Match request. Our goal is to make this policy simple and hassle-free. We are committed to responding to your requests quickly.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.
