The Radial HDI High Definition Direct Box is a studio-quality direct box designed to deliver exceptional recordings with any instrument. It features premium Jensen transformers and a unique Color control that allows you to explore a wide range of sonic possibilities.

Despite its complex circuitry, the HDI offers an elegant set of controls for instant gratification. The Level control provides visual feedback through a front panel meter, making it easy to set the input level. The Color knob seamlessly blends between an ultra-clean tone and amp-style distortion and saturation, allowing you to add character and grit to your instrument with precision. An Opto compressor is available to control peak levels, while a High-Pass Filter helps clear up excessive low frequencies introduced by the Color control. The Presence control accentuates highs and high-mids, ensuring your instrument cuts through the mix.

The HDI's appearance is as impressive as its sound. With a gunmetal anodized 1/2" thick milled front panel and styling reminiscent of classic studio equipment, it adds personality to any recording space. The custom output meter provides a quick level check, and oversized chrome knobs allow for precise adjustments on-the-fly. The HDI can be used as a standalone unit or installed in a standard 19" equipment rack with the included mounting hardware. It can be rack-mounted side-by-side with another HDI in a 2RU space.

Whether you're in the studio or on tour, the Radial HDI is built to last with rugged components, ensuring reliability and exceptional sound quality.
