The Radial Engineering J48 Stereo Phantom Powered Active Direct Box adapts their renowned J48 direct box for stereo or dual mono sources. It is made of durable 14-gauge steel and is at home on the stage and in the studio. Its design enables minimum distortion and a relatively neutral sound to preserve your instrument’s true tone. Work with louder sources and, if necessary, get rid of lower-frequency rumble thanks to a -15 dB pad and a configurable high-pass filter at 80 Hz.
The J48 Stereo features a switching power supply that makes use of the 48V to maximize headroom and reduce distortion. It also requires 48V phantom power. You can fix any polarity problems with a polarity reverse switch, and the ground loop helps get rid of hum.
