Front End Audio frequently has gear that has been opened and used for demo purposes in our in-house studio. These microphones have only been handled by our staff and are otherwise just like new. They includes everything as if new and have been repackaged in the original manufacturer packaging. So if you don't mind an occasional fingerprint or second layer of tape on the box, then you can grab a great deal on a Radial JDI today!
The Radial JDI Passive Direct Box is a studio and stage classic, delivering pristine instrument-to-microphone level conversion with exceptional clarity and musicality. Trusted by engineers and touring professionals worldwide, the JDI combines Radial’s rugged build quality with the legendary Jensen transformer to capture instruments with depth, punch, and natural tone. At the heart of the Radial JDI is a premium Jensen transformer that provides superior signal isolation and remarkable sonic performance. This high-quality transformer preserves the full character of guitars, basses, keyboards, and other line-level sources while eliminating ground loops and reducing noise. The passive design allows the JDI to handle high signal levels without distortion, making it a reliable choice for demanding live and studio applications. The JDI also includes a -15 dB pad for high-output instruments and line-level signals, along with a ground lift switch to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops. Housed in Radial’s durable 14-gauge steel enclosure with protective internal architecture, the JDI is built to withstand years of heavy use while delivering consistent, professional-grade performance. These combined features have made the Radial JDI the most popular passive direct box in professional touring and an excellent choice for instrument interface in the studio!
