Look
inside a ProDI
or ProD2
and you will find the build quality and components to be of
only the highest professional standards. Radial's proven construction
methods and materials ensure years of trouble-free service.
The ProDI
and ProD2
feature audio transformers custom made to
our exacting standards to achieve the highest possible audio
quality while maintaining an affordable price. The ProDI and
ProD2 easily outperform all other direct boxes in their price
range in both signal integrity and features
Inside
the ProDI and ProD2
1.
Isolated
XLR connectors to eliminate chassis ground potential.
2.
Custom
audio transformer on input provides 100% isolation
to eliminate hum and noise causing ground loops while maintaining
signal integrity.
3.
Military
spec PC board with full surface ground plane to reduce
susceptibility to RF noise.
4.
High
grade switches - long life, high cycle for reliable
performance.
5.
14-gauge
steel welded I-beam construction makes it virtually
impossible to torque the PC board.
ProD2
Input and Output Panels
6.
PAD
- 15dB pad for LEFT channel reduces the level going in from
loud sources that could overload the circuit and cause distortion.
7.
LEFT
INPUT and THRU - instrument 1/4"
input and thru-put to amplifier.
8.
RIGHT
INPUT and THRU - instrument 1/4"
input and thru-put to amplifier.
9.
PAD
- 15dB pad for RIGHT channel reduces the level going in from
loud sources that could overload the circuit and cause distortion.
10.
Book-end
design creates a protective zone around the switches
& connectors, indestructible 14-gauge steel construction.
11.
Full
no-slip rubber bottom pad provides mechanical isolation,
electrical insulation and prevents unit from sliding around.
12.
LEFT
- balanced male XLR output connector, AES standard
with pin-1 ground and pin-2 hot.
13.
LIFT
ground pin-1 - switch lifts the ground to pin-1 on
both channels.
14.
RIGHT-
balanced male XLR output connector, AES standard with pin-1
ground and pin-2 hot.
15.
Heavy-duty
baked enamel finish for excellent durability and great
looks for years!
Construction
The ProDI and ProD2 are designed to withstand the rigors
of the most demanding high-use professional environments. Radial pioneered
the use of it's innovative 'book cover' design, which provides a protective
zone around the switches and connectors that keeps these components
safe.
Stress
on circuitboards causes broken and intermittent solder joints, a
common cause of failure in commercial rental and other high-use
environments. Radial's 14-gauge welded I-beam inner chassis and
14-gauge outer shell greatly reduce the possibility of torque stresses
being applied to the PC board.
A full-bottom
no-slip rubber pad works double-duty by providing protection from
electrical shock and making sure these DI's stay put.
