Direct Boxes

Radial Engineering are famed for their bulletproof DIs.

Direct boxes provide an interface that connects instruments and playback devices to pro audio devices such as PA systems, mixing consoles, or recording interfaces.

They typically accept unbalanced high impedance signals and convert them to balanced, low impedance outputs that can be run for long distances without signal degradation

Active DIs employ buffers and require power to operate, and are typically preferred by musicians with passive instruments and acoustic guitars.

High Performance Interfaces

Radial's range of Interfaces are offered passive or active with input connectors that make it easy to interface with all types of unbalanced audio sources such as computers, iPods, and CD players. They are designed for professional field use, allowing signal to be transferred from one device to the other without introducing noise, distortion or artefact of any kind.

When connecting between multiple devices, interface boxes help optimize signal transfer and eliminate issues by altering signal levels and providing the correct connector types.

While Radial Engineering is more renowned for its direct boxes (DIs), re-amp boxes, and studio tools, they also produce a variety of mixers tailored for specific professional audio needs.

REAMP®

Reamp® devices convert a balanced line-level signal to a high impedance instrument-level output, allowing you to take any previously recorded track and play it back through various guitar pedals or amplifiers to explore new tonal possibilities.

Reamping is a studio recording technique that involves taking a recorded audio track (usually guitar or bass) and playing it back through a guitar amplifier, then capturing the results by recording the output of the amp to a new track.
