Radial J48 Stereo Phantom Powered Active Direct Box

Radial J48 Stereo, Phantom Powered, Stereo Active DI Box, Radial Item R800 3002.

The J48 Stereo is a 2-channel active direct box for live concert touring and professional recording studio applications. Most battery-powered instruments and stereo keyboards will produce as much as 7 volts when played at maximum volume, which can easily overload typical active direct boxes which are only able to handle around 3 Volts. The J48 Stereo 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. The J48 Stereo maintains stereo separation between the left and right channels, allowing it to be used on two separate instruments or with stereo sources such as keyboards.
