Radial ProD2 2-Channel Passive Instrument Direct Box

The Radial ProD2 is a 2-channel passive direct box designed to connect stereo keyboards or high output instruments to a PA system or home recording setup without noise or distortion.

The ProD2 features a custom-made transformer that is able to handle high levels without saturation. This high-performance transformer has an exceptionally linear frequency response from 20Hz to 18kHz, making it ideal for electronic musical instruments and audio equipment. The ProD2 also features a -15dB PAD for high output sources and ground lift switch to troubleshoot noise from ground loops.

The ProD2 is essentially two ProDI’s in one compact enclosure designed for stereo keyboards, DJ equipment and consumer hi-fi systems. The ProD2 is housed in an extremely rugged two piece 14 gauge steel enclosure with a book-end-designed outer shell that prevents damage to the switches.

FEATURES

• Great sounding, rugged passive DI
• High performance custom-wound transformer
• -15dB PAD for wide range of input levels
• Ground lift switch eliminates ground loop hum
• Ultra-tough design, to last a lifetime
• 'Plug & play' easy-to-use
• Completely passive, no power needed

COOL STUFF

• ProD2 is two independent direct boxes in one:
  • two inputs, thru-puts, pads, transformers, and outputs
• 15dB PAD allows super-hot inputs such as CD players and headphone outputs to be connected
• INPUT and THRU jacks connect from the instrument and to the instrument amplifier
• XLR balanced 600Ω mic-level output for runs to 1000 feet without appreciable noise
• Ground lift disconnects the ground path to the transformer at the XLR output
• High performance transformer for distortion-free signal transfer and 100% isolation from ground loop hum
• MU-Metal shield for protection against radio frequency and electromagnet interference
• Full bottom pad improves electrical isolation and keeps ProD2 from moving around on busy stages
• Book end design creates a protective zone around the jacks and switches
• 14-GAUGE STEEL welded I-beam enclosure makes it impossible to torque the PC board. Eliminates cold solder joints.

APPLICATIONS

• ProD2 for stereo keyboards, samplers, and drum machines
• Interface consumer audio with pro gear
• Eliminates buzz and hum caused by ground loops
