The Radial JDV LB is a 100% discreet class-A instrument direct box
with a unique feed-forward design that does not employ any form of
traditional negative feedback phase cancellation techniques whatsoever
to stabilize the input circuit. This innovative design captures the
very essence of instrument and delivers the natural tone without
artifact.
Like the original JDV, the LB version is equipped with instrument
input plus a buffered thru-put that can be used to drive 50 feet of
high-Z cable to the amplifier. Radial's innovative DragŪ Control
load correction allows the user to apply the desired load on the pickup
for the most natural rendering. This can be bypassed for a 4 meg-ohm
input for finicky piezo pickups.
The JDV-LB is augmented with an adjustable high-pass filter designed
to remove low-end resonance to help clean up the mix. The JDV
OmniportŪ is set up as a hi-Z output to drive a tuner, a second
amplifier or effects.
This makes the JDV the ideal front end interface for bass guitar,
acoustics and any other direct to recorder instrument you may
encounter.
Lunch-Box Series Modules
The Radial Engineering LB Series Lunch-Box Modules are designed to fit the popular API 500 series format.
According to Radial President Peter Janis: "For years, high-end
studios have enjoyed the advantage of being able to patch-in various
effects using a standard lunchbox rack when particular effects were
needed. The advantage of this system is that because all of the effects
share the same power supply and audio connections, switching modules is
a simple matter of unscrewing two bolts and sliding in or out the
desired module. This convenience is a natural for the ever growing
project and pro-home based studio market. We intend to offer a complete
range of modules over the next few years and are pleased to announce
the first of them today. The beauty of
the lunchbox design is that musicians can mix and match modules and fit
them inside various off-the-shelf racks to suit their needs. It can
only lead to more fun and creativity!" |
