Radial Engineering J48 Direct Box
Phantom powered active DI with switching supply
MFR# R800 3001
Product Description
The Radial J48 is a great sounding active direct box that has been optimized to produce maximum headroom while working within the limited current available from standard 48V phantom power. By employing a unique switching power supply, the J48 is capable of peak transients to 9 volts without choking. The result is lower harmonic distortion, half the inter-modulation distortion and significantly improved dynamics over other DIs.
Features include a -15dB pad, 180º polarity reverse, a unique merge function to mix two signals to mono, an 80Hz high-pass rumble filter, and ground lift. Like all Radial products, the J48 is built to handle the abuse on the road and features a unique welded I-beam construction for years of trouble free performance.
Radial J48 Features:
- Active 48-Volt phantom powered direct box
- Minimal power draw with high rail voltage
- Will not choke when driven hard
- Low inter-modulation distortion

Product Reviews

I have three J-48 direct boxes. They are fantastic in that what sound is delivered into them, they faithfully output uncolored. They seem to do a better job at the task when compared to my Countryman Type 85 box... But maybe my Countryman is out of spec due to being very old. For active electronics, I find the pad is required. For passive electronics, this direct box is the better choice as the signal is stronger. The J-48 is a solid, well built tool with the correct features to be completely useful on stage or in the studio when a direct box is required.

A direct box, or DI box, is an essential piece of equipment for any recording or live sound setup.

But with so many different types of DI boxes on the market, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. Continue reading →
