Radial Engineering J48-MK2-PK1-K J48 Active Direct Box with Cables

This bundle includes the J48 direct box, MIC-XX-25 and G-HT-25-R cables.

Most battery-powered guitars and basses will produce as much as 7 Volts when played at maximum volume, which can easily overload typical active direct boxes which have are only able to handle about 3 Volts. The J48 uses a unique switching power supply that raises the internal rail voltage so it can handle up to an incredible 9 Volts, resulting in improved signal handling and greater headroom. This additional headroom significantly reduces distortion of all types, allowing the natural tone and character of the instrument to shine through.

Cable Up Industrial's line of High-Tec guitar cables are built with special low capacitance, low loss polyethylene insulated cables with oxygen free copper cores designed specifically for high impedance instrument applications. The High Tec cables feature a conductive plastic PVC layer next to a copper braided shielding, thus minimizing static noise due to mechanical movement. These cables deliver a pristine and totally clear sound with minimal noise, offering an essential uncolored guitar sound for discerning guitar players.

Cable Up's rugged Industrial line features high-performance, balanced analog microphone cables. The soldered XLR connectors are fitted with gold-plated contacts for reliable professional use at a competitive price.

All Cable Up® Industrial cables are covered by a 1-year unconditional warranty and a limited lifetime warranty against defects in material or workmanship.
