RNDI-S
DI Box
From Rupert Neve Designs:
The RNDI-S contains custom Rupert Neve-designed output transformers and class-A, discrete FET input stages. This carefully designed combination is the key to the unparalleled performance of the RNDI-S, delivering a powerful and vibrant direct sound that captures the full harmonic depth of basses, guitars, acoustic instruments, pre-recorded material and even consumer devices via the 3.5mm stereo input jack.
With portable, powerful, larger-than-life tone, the RNDI-S is ready to make your stereo or mono direct sources shine.
After coming into existence during an experimentation with new transformer designs, the RNDI was fine-tuned over a series of listening tests against the most popular high-end DIs available. It was in these tests where the RNDI always seemed to add another dimension to the sound and bring the instruments to life. The lows felt richer, deeper and fuller, and the highs had outstanding clarity without any added harshness.
