The Radial J48 Stereo has acquired a extremely good following through the professional audio community. It comes with a sufficiently great headroom, unmatched durability and lower distortion, that makes the Radial J48 to become the most specified direct box on stages around the world and no doubt about that. The Radial J48 Stereo, based on the specifications, is designed as exceptionally linear when tested both when placed under the extra stress of 100 meters (300 feet) of cable and under laboratory conditions. In the laboratory, the high frequency response is able to exceed 40kHz! This makes the Radial J48 Stereo a perfect candidate for the most demanding studio recording and being the obvious choice for the artist on stage at the same time.

Higher voltage, higher headroom

Most battery-powered instruments and stereo keyboards will produce as much as 7 Volts when played at maximum volume, which can easily overload typical active direct boxes which have are only able to handle about 3 Volts. The J48 Stereo uses a unique switching power supply that raises the internal rail voltage so it can handle up to an incredible 9 Volts, resulting in improved signal handling and greater headroom. This additional headroom significantly reduces distortion of all types, allowing the natural tone and character of the instrument to shine through. The J48 maintains stereo separation between the left and right channels, allowing it to be used on two separate instruments or with stereo sources such as keyboards.
