RACK-READY REDDI FROM A-DESIGNS
12 January 2016
The REDDI DI box has made a name for itself with many musicians delivering rich, full tone for basses, guitars, keyboards/synths and other instruments when “going direct” to a DAW or tape. A-Designs now announces the launch of the rack-mountable REDDI V2, a dual-mono-channel, 19-inch, 2U model.
It is important to note that the REDDI V2 is not a high-gain device. Rather, its gain structure has been painstakingly engineered to avoid the slightest compromise in sound quality. Inspired by the sound of the Ampeg B-15 tube bass amp, the REDDI V2’s 6N1P-driven amplifier feeds signal directly into a custom Cinemag output transformer to provide a harmonically rich tone.
The REDDI V2’s extremely wide frequency range (20Hz to 60kHz) prevents in-band phase shift, resulting in outstanding detail and realism. Another major benefit of its wide bandwidth is the prevention of LF phase shift by maintaining a linear response extending below the audible bass range, ensuring a full, natural sound.
The distinctive bright red steel chassis sports two front-panel Neutrik XLR/1/4-inch combo input jacks, two balanced XLR outputs and two 1/4-inch Thru-puts, for sending signal to a bass amp — useful for simultaneously recording direct and miked amp tracks in the studio. A 0-16dB Level control and red LED power indicator complete the front panel controls, while the back panel contains a heavy-duty toggle switch for ground lift, along with the IEC power outlet.
The REDDI V2 carries a list price of $1295 US.
