Description

Radial Engineering J48 Phantom Powered Active Direct Box

The Radial Engineering J48 is a high performance active direct box for live concert touring and professional recording studio applications, with the ability to handle extreme transients without distortion while delivering the natural sound of your instrument.

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 that 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.

Applications:

    • Live Touring
    • Studio
    • Reamping

Features
  • Exceptional headroom and dynamic range
  • Retains the natural sound of the instrument
  • Merge switch sums stereo instruments to mono
  • Powered by 48V phantom, no batteries required
  • 15dB pad reduces the input sensitivity for active basses and high output keyboards
  • 48V check flashes once when the 80Hz filter is depressed to confirm 48V phantom power is present
  • Merge changes the input and thru-put to two LR inputs and mixes the output to mono at the XLR
  • Input instrument input connection to the J48
  • Thru throughput from the J48 to the amp. Hi impedance will not load instrument down
