Radial HDI Studio-Grade Direct box with Transformer saturation, line output

High Definition Studio Direct Box

The Radial HDI is a studio-quality direct box that is professionally designed for creating an exceptional recordings with the use of any instrument, it comes utilizing the premium Jensen transformers and a unique Color control that is capable of providing an entirely new yet familiar-sounding sonic palette to experiment with.

Instant Gratification

The Radial HDI comes with an elegant set of controls that is designed for allowing the engineer or musician to dial up a record-ready sound along with a minimal amount of tweaking required despite the complex circuitry that housed inside the unit. The Level control is designed for driving the inputs of the HDI along with instant visual feedback from the responsive front panel meter, and the Color knob is intended for providing a seamless blending between an ultra-clean tone and amp-style distortion and saturation, at the same time, so the user has the ability to add just the right amount of character and grit to the instrument. A smooth Opto compressor is possible to be engaged for controlling the peaks of the input signal, and a High-Pass Filter is created for clearing up any excessive low frequencies added by the Color control. At last, a Presence control is accentuating the highs and high-mids, that provides the ability to cut through the mix with results that are sure to impress.

Looks and Personality

With its gunmetal anodized 1/2" thick milled front panel and distinctive styling reminiscent of classic outboard studio equipment, the HDI is sure to turn heads in any recording space. A custom output meter provides a level check at a glance, with oversized chrome knobs for precise adjustments and easy tweaking on-the-fly. The HDI is a stunning standalone unit, but it also comes complete with mounting hardware to install in standard 19" equipment racks. One or two HDI's can be installed side-by-side in a 2RU rack space, and like all Radial products, they are built with rugged components and designed to easily withstand the rigors of concert touring.
