Radial DI - fully explained by someone who knows

The ins and outs of a great quality DI. Simple for  some to grasp, but baffling for others. What makes for great quality direct injection? What's the difference between an active or a passive DI? Which DI is best for acoustic guitar or for bass. What about if it's an active bass? Why do I need a DI? If you've ever pondered these questions, then you'll no doubt be disappointed if you've checked out our video clip for Radial, DI.

So it's lucky that Peter Janis from Radial Engineering has popped a couple of his own tutorials up on the You Tubes. See below if you've got a few spare minutes, or if you're simply wanting to know more about ground loops and how to avoid them. The first one pertains to JDI - a passive DI by Radial (no batteries or phantom power required), starring a Jensen transformer. It goes for a while (7:59), but is very informative. Scroll a little further down this page and you'll see a tutorial on the mighty J48 - phantom powered advanced active DI. Peter talks through these products very well, so if you want to know more, definitely spend the time having a look.
