The "Swiss Army Knife" of DI Boxes

The Radial ProAV2 is a passive stereo direct box specifically developed with the audio/video integrator in mind. The ProAV2 features a variety of stereo inputs, greatly simplifying signal management. To eliminate the need for various adapters, a 'Swiss Army' array of connections are provided, including 1/4" for instruments, RCA and 1/8" connectors for consumer electronics and computers, and a +4dB XLR Outputs for professional systems.

The ProAV2's front panel connectors can also be used as thru-puts to allow multiple patch points. Custom wound transformers are employed that are able to withstand exceptionally hot levels while maintaining linearity from 20Hz to 18.5kHz. Transformer isolation adds the benefit of eliminating ground loops that cause audio hum and buzz and video hum bars or snow. A -15dB pad is provided to tame hot signals and the ground lift eliminates hum and buzz caused by ground loops. If you do live sound for events, the ProAV2 should be in your toolbox!

  • Computers

Reviews

Great DI box from Radial
I,love the Radial brand. It is rock solid and this box with additional inputs is just great.

Easy to use!
IMHO, Radial produces some of the best DI's. This one meets those standards. Built like a tank. Easy to use, and dependable. You cannot go wrong here.
Indestructible Problem-Solver
I've bought three of these so far for personal use. Not cheap, but worth it. If you're patching in audio live from random sources like computers or old consumer gear at the last-minute ("sound art" shows, anyone?), just under two pounds of passive gear can save you from packing (and risking) hundreds of pounds of active electronic insurance. I've also inserted them into pro-designed signal chains to solve impedance and ground-loop issues that cropped up after the installers drove away. I haven't yet personally run over one with a truck, but I really do expect it would survive.

Good old Radial
As always this radial performed perfectly. Cleaned up a sound source and I'm sure we will get decade's of use out of it.
The "Swiss Army Knife" of direct boxes
So you're out on a gig and the client decides they need background music on your break. Oh! What to do? If you have a CD player or some other outdated piece of playback technology, you can use this to run it through your PA System!!! Seriously, this box works just fine as a regular DI box, but can really save the day when you have an odd piece of equipment to run through your setup.
