RECORDING
magazine (September
2003 - pg. 84)
"... the real difference
between passive boxes is entirely due to the quality and
sound of the transformer. A better transformer will sound
better."
"My quick RFI test of keying up a two-watt VHF transceiver
(an old Motorola HT220... we use then a lot at festival
gigs) was flawless, with no RF pickup even with the antenna
very near the cable." "The JDI Mk3 is a great
choice when you need a DI box for a synth, and instrument
amp, and instrument with active pickups... (it will also
work in reverse for some re-amping applications)." |

"... the best thing you
can say about a direct box is that you forget it's there.
The JDI's are transparent and noise free, but they're
not forgettable.
They performed very well on every source I fed them, including
electric and acoustic guitar and bass. Even in an environment
that's occasionally prone to grounding problems and noise
from computers and monitors, the signal was ultra clean." |

Media magazine (November 2001 - pg. 24) "Radial
Engineering has managed to go a step beyond what you'd expect from
a passive DI and offer a product with some great value-added features."

(Fall 1999 - pg. 104)
"...the
JDI/JD4 and JDV sound -- in a word -- pure. Compared
to these, my old standby active DI has a thinner and harsher
tone. No matter what type of signal I put through them,
the Radials sounded round and natural". "Radial
Engineering has done a superb job with these direct boxes
-- I couldn't come up with any gripes about them! I especially
like the JDI. Plug it in and it sounds great. If you need
a line level output or have a sensitive instrument that
could be loaded by a transformer design, the JDV is for
you.."
" ... they're pricier than some of the competition,
but they're worth every penny." |

Audio
Media magazine (May 1999 - pg. 44) "...
With it's Jensen transformer and excellent overload characteristics,
the JDI can handle any situation flawlessly... the JDV
can deliver the same flawless sonic quality with the cleanest
signal possible. All in all, both of these units are a
must-have for any studio" |

Pro
Audio Review magazine (March 1999 - pg. 53) "The
JDI is a winner from every angle. It's roadworthy, it's feature
packed and it sounds great! The Radial design team is obviously
more than a bunch of white coats who only make it out of the lab
once a week to watch Star Trek. They are a team who understand the
needs of recording and sound reinforcement engineers and know how
to design a product to meet these needs." |

Musician (November 1998 - pg. 184) "...I
can say with no hesitation that you won't find anything out there
offering better performance or more durability for the money." |

Professional
Sound (December 1997) "Radial's
new JDI passive direct box is amazingly clean and noise
free. It's design is a direct result of asking reputable
names in the industry such as John Vrtacic (Little Mountain
Sound and currently at the Armoury Studio) and Ron Obvious
(of Bryan Adam's Warehouse Studio) what would make up
a great direct box." |
