Radial Engineering STAGE DIRECT

Description

<h1 style="text-align: justify;">With Radial Engineering's <strong>StageDirect active Direct Box</strong>, dedicated to guitarists and bassists, you can directly connect a setup consisting of two instruments, a tuner, and an amplifier with silent switching between various outputs, balance the signal, and send it to a Mixer or a recording system.</h1><p><img alt="With Radial Engineering's Stage Direct active Direct Box dedicated to guitarists and bassists, you can directly connect a setup consisting of two instruments, a tuner, and an amplifier with silent switching between various outputs, balance the signal, and send it to a Mixer or a recording system." src="https://www.algameko.com/images/uploads/Stage-Direct-Top-1200x630.jpg" title="With Radial Engineering's Stage Direct active Direct Box dedicated to guitarists and bassists, you can directly connect a setup consisting of two instruments, a tuner, and an amplifier with silent switching between various outputs, balance the signal, and send it to a Mixer or a recording system." /></p><h2><strong>Key Features</strong></h2><ul> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li>Active DI with footswitch mute and tuner output</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li>Silent instrument switching on stage</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li>Eliminates feedback when the instrument is not in use</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li>Remote control allows signal muting during switching</li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">Radial's StageDirect is an active direct box, designed for musicians who need extra control on stage. It features a <strong>Hi-Z instrument input</strong>, a pass-through output for the stage amplifier, and a balanced Low-Z output for the PA system. StageDirect also has a second Hi-Z input, with a footswitch for instant switching between two instruments, a dedicated tuner output, and a footswitch mute switch that silences the direct signal to the PA and amplifier, leaving only the tuner output active. This allows the musician to mute the guitar when not in use or tune it between songs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The innovative circuit design combines a Class-A FET input driver with a low-noise operational amplifier, delivering high-quality audio across the entire frequency range. It features a -10 dB attenuation pad for instruments with high output levels such as backing tracks or keyboards. The high-pass filter attenuates excessive bass while the 180° polarity reverse can be used to help phase alignment of the stage amp with the PA or to eliminate acoustic "hot spots" on stage.</p><h3><strong>StageDirect Applications</strong></h3><p><strong>Acoustic Guitar</strong></p><p><strong><img alt="It is possible to switch freely from one instrument to another, sending a clean signal to the PA and the stage amplifier simultaneously.
