Radial Engineering Pro D2

A clasic

Perfect. As you know it will be

Great build quality and sound - would like a link button for the L & R channels

Like other Radial devices, the built quality is really good; very solid. The sound is excellent and in my view produces a crisper sound than Behringer or Palmer DI's - of course, these are more expensive but I think it is worth the money.

The only thing I miss in this unit is the ability to link L&R into a single mono output, but that is a small niggle. Al in all, very happy with my purchase.

Fabulous stereo line driver

I use this for organs (MAG, Mojo), where stereo is a must for the rotary effect ( ofcourse you can also use it as doubble mono, if you wish).

Our engineer recommended it, and I've been happy as a clam ever since.

Very sturdy build, transparent sound, straight-forward in use, and no phantom power required.

An apply-and-forget piece of gear that wil last for many years. Highly recommended!

Sehr gut

Nur gute Erfahrung live und zu hause beim Aufnhemen gemacht.

Good value for its money

This box does what it has to. Overall quality is really satisfactory except maybe for the xlr slots that are plastic instead of metal. (But that could be justified to lessen the already considerable weight). Add on top the fact that it can be annoying to unplug your xlrs because the lockers are not easily accessible due to the metal ridge of the casing. Long story short: good for a steady set up - not the most ergonomic if you need to regularly plug and unplug the thing.

Excellent choice!!!

If you are looking for a very good quality DI box, then Radial is one of the best choices. I'm using it for lives and rehearsals to connect my keyboard and sometimes a bass guitar, to change from unbalance into balance signal before sending it to the mixer and works really good. Radial is much more expensive than other brands but i've tried a cheaper one and it was a waste of money!

Excellent passive DI for stereo line sources, for live or studio use.

I can't find much to criticise for this DI. I bought this for stereo line-level sources like keyboards and synths. I prefer it to active units because for high peaks or hot levels it is much nicer than an active DI in clipping. Has a noise and distortion-free sound, very clean. Extremely well built, very rugged. Has all the necessary features and is very versatile. The transformers have a slightly different sound to Jensen but you won't notice until it receives a very high level and starts to break up. Then I prefer this one because the Jensens in the JDI can be slightly bright.

This DI is especially suited to stereo line sources; if you require a L-R merge function or a mono DI for amplified speaker outputs from an amp, Radial have better alternatives like JDI passive or J48 active, which is why those features aren't present. This is perfectly suited to stereo keys, backing tracks etc. No loading problems driving long lines. Excellent simpler and cheaper alternative to JDI stereo and others, definitely better sound and build quality than cheap passive DI's. Great value for a true professional unit. I just wish it had 2 of every switch and function so you could use it as two completely independent DI's for 2 mono sources; there is only one earth lift switch for both inputs. It's designed for a stereo source but can be used for 2 mono sources, with that slight limitation

Probably the best dbox out there

This awesome dbox from an iconic brand is solidly built, the ground lift works perfect and the signal is top quality! But keep in mind it is kinda heavy 😉

Simply the best

This is my go-to DI-box for a long time. It has all the functions to handle all live and studio situations.

Top quality - you get what you pay for

I have bought two of these for my keyboard rig, allowing stereo output to both front of house and on-stage monitors. The difference that stereo makes in cutting through the mix (and preventing phase cancellation) really makes it worth investing in decent quality Stereo DI boxes.

The sound quality and clarity (and the virtual absence of any noise whatsoever), is excellent. I've used them in both large and small venues and in all cases they just work as you would want them to. Build quality is also excellent.

Probably the best compliment I can pay is from a recent session where I turned up to do a live recording of a demo video. The sound engineer who was doing the mixing and recording asked me what my set-up was and when I told him I was using 2 x Radial stereo DIs he said "Great - that means I don't really have to do anything to make you sound good!"

Well worth putting the money in to these. It really is a false economy (and a bit pointless) to put high quality (Nord/Roland/Yamaha etc) boards through a cheap DI box.
