Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Radial ProDI require batteries or phantom power to operate?
No. The ProDI is a fully passive direct box, so it requires no batteries, phantom power, or external power source of any kind. You simply plug in and go.
Can the ProDI handle high-output instruments like active basses or keyboards without distortion?
Yes. The custom-wound Radial transformer is designed to handle large transients without distortion, making it suitable for high-output instruments including active basses, keyboards, and acoustic guitars with onboard preamps.
How does the ProDI eliminate ground loop hum?
The transformer inside the ProDI provides galvanic isolation between the input and output, effectively breaking the electrical connection that causes ground loop hum between the instrument and the mixing console.
What type of connectors does the ProDI have?
The ProDI features a 1/4-inch input jack for your instrument and an XLR output for connecting to a mixer or audio interface. It also includes a 1/4-inch thru jack for sending signal to an on-stage amplifier.
How durable is the ProDI's enclosure?
The ProDI is built around a 14-gauge steel I-beam skeleton, which provides exceptional resistance to impact and crushing forces commonly encountered during live performances and transport.
