Nady Audio, Nady's expanding line of professional audio gear, recently announced the introduction of a new mixer, the RDI-8. This 8-channel DI box/line mixer functions as both an active DI and direct injection Box, and as a line mixer.

The RDI-8 features eight totally independent DI box units in a 1U package for multiple signal connections and conversions. It can also be used simultaneously as an 8-channel Line Mixer with both stereo Line and Master outputs. Its multi-purpose design enables useful parallel-operation applications such as setting an independent stereo mix for stage monitoring of an extended setup of keyboards, samples and synth modules while also supplying independent XLR balanced outputs to the stage box for the front-of- house engineer.

Each DI box eliminates impedance mismatch problems and converts any sound source, from guitar to speaker inputs, into a clean and powerful hum-free, noise-free and interference-free balanced signal--perfect for long cable runs. Optimum hookup flexibility with independent parallel link outputs for each channel enables useful applications such as monitoring a specific input locally while sending an XLR balanced direct output to another source without affecting the line mixer signal. Advanced circuit design and carefully selected components ensure extended linear frequency response and ultra low distortion for pure, transparent audio across the spectrum for both DI Box and Line Mixer operation.

The RDI- 8 offers high quality, rugged construction for maximum long life and reliability.
