Radial J48 Active DI Box Phantom Powered

The J48™ active direct box stands apart with its ability to handle extreme transients without distortion, featuring a linear frequency response spanning from 20Hz to 40kHz. Most battery-powered guitars and basses can produce up to 7 volts when played at maximum volume, which easily overloads typical active direct boxes that are only capable of handling around 3 volts.

What sets the J48 apart is its unique switching power supply that raises the internal rail voltage, enabling it to handle an impressive 9 volts. This increased voltage capacity results in improved signal handling and greater headroom, significantly reducing all types of distortion and allowing the natural tone and character of your instrument to shine through uncoloured.

The J48 offers exceptional headroom and dynamic range whilst retaining the natural sound of your instrument. Key features include a merge switch that sums stereo instruments to mono, 48V phantom power operation eliminating the need for batteries, a 15dB pad to reduce input sensitivity, polarity reverse to minimise feedback, an 80Hz high pass filter, and a ground lift switch for versatile connectivity options.
