Radial JDV MKV Dual-Input Active Direct Box

The Radial JDV MKV Dual-Input Active Direct Box is a cutting-edge, high-performance DI box designed to meet the needs of both studio recording and professional touring applications. This premium DI box stands out with its ability to handle inputs from a multitude of sources, including active and passive instruments, microphones, and piezo transducers. With its 30-Volt internal rails, it offers exceptional headroom, delivering crystal-clear, distortion-free audio that faithfully reproduces the natural sound of your instrument.

The JDV MKV is a versatile tool that allows you to combine two inputs, which can either be individually selected or blended together in phase alignment. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from live performances where you might need to switch between instruments quickly, to studio sessions where capturing the purest sound is critical. Its balanced output can be toggled between mic or line level, enabling direct connection to recording interfaces for pristine audio capture without the need for an additional preamp.
