The Radial Pro D8 is a high-performance 8-channel direct box, designed to connect keyboards and pre-recorded tracks to any PA system. Its robust rackmount construction is perfect for both studio and live performance settings. It boasts redundant inputs for each channel, providing a seamless backup during live performances.

With two A-B 1/4" inputs per DI channel, main and back-up sources can share the same effects for each channel. The output panel features a XLR connector, a -15dB input pad selector, and a ground lift switch, ensuring clean and noise-free signal transmission.

What sets the Radial Pro D8 apart is its eight custom-made Radial transformers. These provide a linear response from 20Hz to 18kHz and are capable of handling dynamic levels from digital samplers and drum machines without distortion. In addition, the transformers are encased in a mu-metal-nickel outer shield, reducing interference from external magnetic fields and minimizing phase distortion.

For added flexibility, the Radial Pro D8 comes with a set of reversible rack ears, allowing the 1/4" input panel or the XLR output panels to be positioned at the front or back as per the sound engineer’s preference.
