Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-8 8-Channel Active Transformer Direct Box

Description: Category 500 Series Modular Synth Keyboards Microphones Preamps Dynamics Equalizers Monitoring Computer Audio Interfaces Software Beat Production Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-8 8-Channel Active Transformer Direct Box Known for its iconic, transformer-infused sound, Rupert Neve’s RNDI Active Transformer Direct Interface has become a staple in both studios as well as live touring productions. Building off of the success of the RNDI, the Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-8 is an eight-channel version of the RNDI fitted conveniently within a 1RU format. TRANSFORMER + DISCRETE FET: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Designed for ease of use in both onstage rigs as well as control room front ends, RNDI-8 has the same features that made the original a hit, like a Class A FET amplifier stage and custom wound transformers. With best-in-class low impedance output, users can run longer cabling without signal degradation, and the RNDI-8’s ultra-high headroom ensures even the hottest out inputs will be reproduced naturally and musically. Using the same topology as the standard RNDI, the new RNDI-8 allows for patching between instrument and amp, as well as amp and cabinet, ensuring even the output stage’s tone is reproduced beautifully. Additionally, these options allow users to send signals out for “re-preamping” during the mix stage, adding pleasant saturation and euphonic harmonics. THE ULTIMATE DI FOR YOUR STUDIO With 8 channels of direct input, engineers can make multiple patches onstage into one place, or studios can capture brilliant direct splits during tracking without compromise. Just plug it in, run your cabling, and engage phantom power. Best of all, the RNDI-8 will impart vibrant tone to a wide range of your sources, making the sound of your other DI’s feel brittle and lifeless. With robust build quality, convenient routing options, and the legendary Rupert Neve sound, the RNDI-8 is a must-have multichannel DI for those who want the best sound in the studio or on stage. From your favorite bass to synths, guitars, and submixers, the RNDI-8 handles each signal with brilliance and class. TWO DISTINCT GROUND LIFT OPTIONS Most direct interfaces include a ground lift switch at the output, and the RNDI-8 includes this standard DI ‘lifting’ option via eight individual ‘Pin 1 Isolate’ switches on the rear panel. Engaging this button will usually eliminate common sources of hum in the signal path. However, the RNDI-8 also includes eight ground lift buttons on the front panel which separate each channel’s circuit ground from the chassis ground, providing another helpful option to detect and eliminate unwanted ground hum. FEATURES: Class A, discrete amplifiers meet Rupert’s custom transformers for groundbreaking direct tone Maximum input level is a massive +21 dBu (+31 dBU with -10 dB pad engaged) making the RNDI-8 capable of handling not only instruments but also professional line-level sources like interfaces, drum machines, and even the highest-output DJ mixers Rugged solid steel 1U 19" rack-mount chassis featuring an industrial-grade powder coating and is built to withstand the severe stresses of life on the road Included bolt-on rack ears are reversible for multiple mounting options Consistency across a wide variety of sources due to its 2M Ohm discrete FET input and huge headroom, providing superb sound for guitars, synths, basses, acoustic instruments, keyboards, and even professional line level devices Low impedance transformer coupled output is capable of driving long lines with unrivaled high frequency performance 1/4" THRU outputs can be used to feed amplifier inputs for reinforcement Pin 1 Isolate switches are provided on the rear panel to help fix any problematic grounding, as well as Ground Lift switches on the front panel to isolate each channel’s circuit ground from chassis ground Each of the RNDI-8’s eight channels is powered by standard 48V phantom power, indicated by blue LEDs on the front panel, one per channel About Us Since 1993, we have been committed to equipping our customers with the very best gear, advice, and personal service anywhere.
