Radial Engineering JDI

Super solid DI box.

The JDI is the perfect Passive DI box for everyone who wants an excellent product for professional use. I have also the Stage Bug from Radial which is a very very good product for its price, but the JDI is the best one with reach sound solid body, and plus functions.

Industrie Standard at its best

Industrie standard Di. Does what it has to do with no compromisse

Great passive DI

Very sturdy case and great sound quality. I love passive DI's because they don't require additional phantom power. This one is my favorite!

Great passive DI

Very flat and natural sounding, quality stuff! Specially for active basses. Maybe less interesting for passive basses with low output.

Very good!

I used it for a Roland fa08 keyboard as well as for a Moog SubPhatty in both live gig and studio recording and I must say it's flawless. Easy to use, just plug the cables in/out of the little green box and expect top sound quality. Good build, hard metal case, nice feel on the buttons. I own the bigger brother of this box too, the stereo one. Recommend it for any of you looking for a top quality DI.

Excellent

I took this one to try it with acoustic guitars with piezo pickups in order to compare it with active DI-Boxes and the result is very nice, well balanced, slightly warmer sound. Active or passive Radial DI-Box with acoustic guitars is a matter of taste at the end but this one worked very well, especially with nylon string guitar. It is pricey but I don't regret it.

Highest quality DI box

Used with a fretless bass, this DI box combines flawless sound with excellent functionality. You can read the spec., yourselves, but I highlight the ability to have a feed to an onstage amp / monitor as well as the DI (Mic level) output to the desk - useful for smaller setups where you just need foldback of your own instrument and have no need for a desk mix for your monitor. Great build quality. Great sound. Very acceptable to the sound engineers ...

Solid and awesome

I didn't know I needed this until I bought it. Now I'm runnign through it on almost all my tracks. Radial is a solid company from Canada making some of the most useful gear out there. This JDI is a classic. It's passive, so no power needed, it's built to last years, the sound it produces is warm and smooth, and the features on it are super useful. I just ran it from the output of my pedal board to the guitar amp and it sounds better with it in the chain then without. Also great for recording. Just tried a drum machine through it directly into DAW. Sounds great. I like this DI.

Superb Passive DI

I use the Radial JDI for recording bass and as DI on gigs.

Most of my basses are active some with a very high output which matches well with a passive DI. I have used other DI's from pedal board preamps and bass amps before but the Radial is definitely a step up and sounds less compressed. The signal has a very good dynamic range, not much colouring going on, a very low noise floor, it needs no powering and the Radial built like a tank.

best passive di

best passive di on the market in my opinion
