Those of us who have been privileged to work on vintage Neve consoles can attest to the vibrant richness and powerful punch that Rupert's electronics impart to your signal. Now there's a direct box that delivers this magic: the Rupert Neve Designs RNDI. Sporting fastidiously developed custom transformers and Class A biased, discrete FET amplifiers, the RNDI makes your bass, guitar, keyboard - or any instrument with a piezo pickup - sound massive and amazing. If you record music or do live sound, you take signals direct all the time. Might as well invest in a killer direct box: Rupert Neve Designs' RNDI.
The Neve of direct boxes
With its high input headroom, you can feed the RNDI a pro line-level source without a pad, and in Speaker mode, the RNDI can handle the full brunt of a 1000W power amp (for you EE types, that's +41.5dBU). The RNDI also sports impressive phase coherence, unrivaled amongst its peers. Trust us - you'll really appreciate this feature when you're blending a mic and a direct signal together! The Rupert Neve Designs RNDI is essential kit. We all need at least one.
