Radial Engineering ProAV2 Stereo Direct Box

This is easily one of the best purchase I have made after years of dealing with SEVERE ground loop issues between my PC (which I use for audio-related hobbies) and my externally powered studio monitors. When I say severe, I don't mean a minor 60 Hz hum that you can only hear while there is no audio signal. What I mean is an extreme angry hornets nest-level of buzz that is VERY loud and not part of the source signal. The buzzing is clearly tied to the PC's power load, as the whine fluctuates with the render speed of my video card (a power hungry Titan Xp). It's so obnoxious that I rarely used my external studio monitors (a simple pair of Mackie MR5's) and opted for studio headphones.I cannot express the feeling I felt the moment I cranked the PC the full tilt, cranked the volume to max, pressed the ground raise button on the output side of the ProAV2 and heard.... silence... It was music to my ears.I also love the input options available on the ProAV2. I can use the device in my PC set-up, or grab it and use it with my DJ set-up.

These are some of the best direct boxes that I own. I have several of varying degrees of quality. This is a substantial piece of gear. It is stereo, so it can do the job of two mono DI boxes, offsetting most of the cost increase. The sound is clean and clear. I haven't noticed any distortion of the audio coming through the DI box like I have with several of my cheaper models. I frequently use this with a computer or sources other than an instrument. The composite inputs and the 1/8" TRS inputs are great to keep from having to use adapters on the cables.The only con if I had to come up with one is this box is heavy. This does not weigh on my decision to purchase another one, but to some people it may matter.Highly recommended!

JDI DI box is one of the industry standards. It has warm, true sound# and lots of options to get what you need from live performance to studio work.

We bought this product because in our church they needed it. We love it so far And it has to assemble and is really practical and easy to install.

While the DBX is very good at ridding noise and I hear new instruments (details), the Radial is on another level taking me to the live music venue.I use Apple Music.I have. $17k 2.2 stereo system.

We have several of these and have no issues with them.

works like a charm with my cell phone and other mp3 outputs, no issues, it is solid as a rock. pricey but works

This unit completely removes hum from my system, if you are looking for a unit that does this job but maintains high-quality sound, this is the one. Very satisfy.My system uses Gaia + Terminator as the DAC. I have a tube amp and headphones like Arya Stealth, HEDD, HD800S, LCD-X.
