From Our Research Team:

A great way to connect your active intruments to your recording system!

The Radial Pro48 is a high-performance 48V phantom powered active direct box designed specifically for today's higher output instruments. The Pro48's innovative digital switching power supply significantly increases headroom and allows for less distortion while yielding a smooth, linear response extending from 20Hz to well above 100kHz resulting in natural, uncolored signal transfer. This superior performance makes the Pro48 an ideal candidate for use with today's battery powered active basses and acoustic guitars that tend to overload other direct boxes. The compact Pro48 is built road-ready with 14 gauge steel in Radial's unique book-end design that provides protective zones around the switches and connectors. The internal welded I-beam construction assures outside stress will not torque the PC board thus assuring longer product life. The Pro48 is designed for high-use applications wherever an active direct box is called for. A -15dB pad switch is provided to tame hot signal and expands the range of instrument preamps and the ground lift switch helps eliminate hum and buzz problems caused by ground loops. With exceptional sonic performance, great natural tone at an affordable price, the Radial Pro48 truly represents a breakthrough in value!

Applications:
  • Active acoustic guitar
  • Active bass guitar
  • Active electric guitar w/preamp
  • Keyboard / Synthesizer
  • Direct recording
  • Live sound

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
