Radial JDI Features:
Welded I-beam construction makes it impossible to torque the PC board. This virtually eliminates cold solder joints – the No.1 cause of system failure in the field.
An innovative ‘slide-in-place’ XLR trace makes it possible to use I-Beam girder construction.
Jensen transformer for distortion-free performance.
A military-grade PC board is employed for maximum wear and tear in abusive environments. Welded steel standoffs ensure the PC board will not shift.
A -15dB pad allows super hot inputs such as that from a CD player to be connected and balanced for long runs.
The Merge function turns the input and thru into a passive mixer to sum stereo feeds to mono at the XLR output. This saves valuable inputs on the mixer!
The input connects to the instrument.
The thru-put is connected to the instrument amplifier. The JDI has a high input impedance to reduce loading.
Book-end design creates a protective zone around the switches & connectors for best protection!
A heavy-duty baked enamel finish for excellent durability and great looks for years! 100% 14-gauge steel construction.
The XLR balanced mic level output provides 100% isolation for runs to 1000 feet without appreciable noise.
A polarity reverse switch flips the polarity from the AES standard Pin-2 to Pin-3 on the XLR and is used when combining sounds that may be out of phase.
The ground-lift disconnects the ground path to the transformer at the XLR output. This is used when a ground path is made at the input side such as with a keyboard.
The parallel speaker interface option introduces a second -30dB pad with band-pass filter to emulate a 12″ guitar speaker.
A no-slip full bottom pad reduces mechanical vibration, improves electrical isolation and keeps the JDI from moving around on busy stages!
