Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-S Stereo Active Transformer DI

An expanded two-channel version of Rupert Neve Designs' best-selling RNDI, providing massive tone & headroom for all of your instruments & stereo sources.

The Rupert Neve RNDI-S is a stereo direct interface with a signature sound that is the product of custom Rupert Neve Designs transformers and class-A biased, discrete FET amplifiers. The carefully orchestrated union of these two elements is key to the unique response of the RNDI-S, delivering a powerful and vibrant direct sound capable of reproducing the full harmonic depth of basses, guitars, keyboards, acoustic instruments, professional line-level sources and consumer devices with a 3.5mm jack. With portable, powerful, larger-than-life tone, the RNDI-S is ready to make your stereo or mono direct sources shine.

Rupert Neve RNDI-S Features:

• Custom Rupert Neve Designs transformers for rich, powerful tone
• Exceptional performance with any instrument
• Unrivaled clarity from discrete FET amplifiers
• Drives long lines with minimal loss
• Rugged steel frame built for life on the road
• Powered by dual 48V phantom power
• Excellent phase coherence at all frequencies

Groundbreaking Direct Tone
When class-A, discrete amplifiers meet Rupert's custom transformers, good things happen to your tone. The RNDI is imbued with the unique components and design knowledge that makes it worthy of the Rupert Neve name

Huge Headroom
The high input headroom of +21.5dBU is capable of handling professional, line level sources without a pad - and in speaker mode, the RNDI can handle the full output of a 1000-watt power amplifier (92 Vrms or 266Vp-p).

Rugged Solid-Steel Frame
The rugged steel chassis features an industrial-grade powder coating, and is built to withstand the severe stresses of life on the road

Takes All Kinds
The RNDI has immensely consistent performance across a wide variety of sources due to its 2M Ohm discrete FET input and high headroom. You can confidently use the RNDI with basses, guitars, acoustic instruments, keyboards, and even professional line level devices. In instrument mode, you can even connect a professional line level interface output to "Re-Preamp" a previously recorded source

Drive Longer Lines
The low impedance transformer coupled output - below 50 ohms - is capable of driving long lines with unrivaled high frequency performance

1/4" THRU Output
In instrument mode the THRU output can feed the amplifier input for reinforcement. In speaker mode, the THRU is used to feed the amplified signal to the speaker

Best in Class Phase Coherence
Phase coherence is excellent at all frequencies, which keeps the sound well-balanced and natural, and is especially vital when blending the direct signal with a microphone capture of the same source

Ground Lift
A ground lift switch is provided on the back to help fix any problematic grounding.

Phantom Powered
The RNDI-S is powered by dual 48V phantom power. Power is indicated by a blue LED on the front panel
