Radial JDI - Jensen Equipped 1-channel Passive Instrument Direct Box

 

Features

 

• Balanced 600-ohm XLR connector

• Virtually zero phase & harmonic distortion

• Exceptional signal handling

• High common mode noise rejection

• Welded I-beam construction makes it impossible to torque the PC board. This virtually eliminates cold solder joints - the No.1 cause of system failure in the field.

• An innovative 'slide-in-place' XLR trace makes it possible to use I-Beam girder construction.

• Jensen transformer for distortion-free performance.

• A military-grade PC board is employed for maximum wear and tear in abusive environments. Welded steel standoffs ensure the PC board will not shift.

• A -15dB pad allows super hot inputs such as that from a CD player to be connected and balanced for long runs.

• The Merge function turns the input and thru into a passive mixer to sum stereo feeds to mono at the XLR output. This saves valuable inputs on the mixer.

• The input connects to the instrument.

• The thru-put is connected to the instrument amplifier. The JDI has a high input impedance to reduce loading.

• Book-end design creates a protective zone around the switches & connectors for best protection.

• A heavy-duty baked enamel finish for excellent durability and great looks for years. 100% 14-gauge steel construction.

• The XLR balanced mic level output provides 100% isolation for runs to 1000 feet without appreciable noise.

• A polarity reverse switch flips the polarity from the AES standard Pin-2 to Pin-3 on the XLR and is used when combining sounds that may be out of phase.

• The ground-lift disconnects the ground path to the transformer at the XLR output. This is used when a ground path is made at the input side such as with a keyboard.

• The parallel speaker interface option introduces a second -30dB pad with band-pass filter to emulate a 12" guitar speaker.

• A no-slip full bottom pad reduces mechanical vibration, improves electrical isolation and keeps the JDI from moving around on busy stages.
