Complete Direct Box and Audio Cable Bundle
The Radial Engineering JDI Duplex 2-Channel Passive Instrument Direct Box Bundle provides everything you need to seamlessly connect your instruments to your audio system with impeccable sound quality. This comprehensive package includes the rugged Radial JDI Duplex direct box, two 6' Calrad 55-853G-6 stereo cables, and two professional 10' XLR mic cables. Whether you’re performing live on stage or recording in the studio, this bundle delivers top-tier performance and reliability, ensuring your instruments are captured with precision and clarity.

Reliable Audio Performance with Jensen Transformers
At the core of this bundle is the Radial JDI Duplex 2-channel passive direct box. Designed for capturing high-output instruments like electric guitars, basses, and keyboards, this direct box features premium Jensen transformers, known for their outstanding linearity and distortion-free performance. These transformers ensure your instruments sound their best by handling high signal levels without distortion. The JDI Duplex is equipped to handle everything from passive and active guitars to analog and digital keyboards, making it versatile for a wide range of audio sources, while eliminating 60-cycle ground loops for cleaner sound.

Versatile Features for Live and Studio Applications
The JDI Duplex stands out with its versatile features that make it ideal for both live performances and studio use. It includes a -15dB pad to manage hotter input levels, while a unique Merge function allows stereo signals to be summed to mono through the XLR output, saving valuable inputs on your mixer. Additionally, the -30dB pad can be used in conjunction with the -15dB pad for parallel speaker connections, making it possible to tap into a guitar amplifier’s sound post-distortion. This feature, combined with a built-in speaker emulation filter, mimics the sound of a 12" guitar speaker, providing a creative tool for your audio setup.

Tough Construction for On-the-Road Reliability
Built to withstand the wear and tear of touring, the JDI Duplex features a welded I-beam construction that eliminates the risk of cold solder joints, which are the primary cause of direct box failures. The sturdy, military-grade PC board is designed for durability, ensuring that the JDI Duplex performs reliably in abusive environments. Its book-end design creates a protective zone around the switches and connectors, preventing damage during fast-paced stage setups. The JDI Duplex also boasts a heavy-duty baked enamel finish and a no-slip full-bottom pad that reduces vibration and keeps the unit stable, even on busy stages.

Comprehensive Cable Setup for Optimal Sound Quality
This bundle also includes two 6' Calrad 55-853G-6 stereo cables with 1/4" stereo plugs, designed to provide a reliable and noise-free connection between your instruments and the direct box. These cables ensure optimal sound quality and minimal signal loss, giving you peace of mind during performances. Additionally, two 10' professional XLR mic cables are included, ensuring that your audio signal is transmitted clearly and without interference to your mixing console or other audio equipment. These cables are built for durability and performance, making them perfect for both studio and live environments.

Enhanced Flexibility and Control for Audio Engineers
The JDI Duplex is equipped with a polarity reverse switch that flips the polarity from the AES standard Pin-2 to Pin-3, allowing for easy phase adjustments when combining multiple sound sources that may be out of phase. The ground lift switch disconnects the ground path from the transformer at the XLR output, providing 100% input-to-output isolation and helping to prevent unwanted hum or noise in your signal. These features, combined with the high-quality cables, ensure that you have full control over your audio setup, whether you're mixing in the studio or handling a live sound system.
