    "summary": "Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-M Active Transformer Direct Injection Box. Rupert Neve Designs. RND-DIM. Pro Audio Recording. Pro Audio Recording Signal Processors Converters Preamps. available from verified retail listing. price range 289 CAD. condition new. The RNDI-M brings the stunning tone \u0026 clarity of its award-winning counterparts to an even more compact and pedalboard-friendly format, with the exact same custom Rupert Neve Designs transformers and discrete FET input stage as the best-selling RNDI, RNDI-S and RNDI-8. By streamlining its feature set and housing the electronics in a rugged \u0026 more compact chassis, the RNDI-M fits neatly into any space and will allow even more musicians and engineers to tap into the uncompromised sonic power \u0026 vibrancy of a Rupert Neve Designs DI. The RNDI-M provides instrument direct injection for electric guitar \u0026 basses, synthesizers, keyboards, piezo pickups, or any other instrument-level source. The discrete, Class-A circuit topology is built around Mr. Rupert Neves custom transformers, resulting in outstanding sonic performance and strikingly natural sound from below 5Hz all the way up to well beyond 90kHz. It can handle input levels up to +20.5dBu, the low impedance, transformer-coupled output stage drives long lines with minimal loss, and the rugged steel chassis is designed for a lifetime of stage and studio use. Signature Sound The RNDI-M's signature sound is primarily the product of a custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer and a class-A, discrete FET input stage. The carefully orchestrated union of these two elements is key to the RNDI-M's unique accuracy, tone, and response. The Custom Transformer The RNDI-M's custom-wound output transformer provides exceptional passive isolation while adding musical harmonics and dimension to the sound. The low impedance, transformer-balanced output excels at driving long cable runs, and its performance is consistent regardless of the connected equipment. This is equally important for both live and studio environments where the audio signal may travel almost 100ft before hitting an amplifier. The Class-A, Discrete FET Amplifier The class-A, discrete FET input stage in the RNDI-M is powered by external +48V phantom with a high impedance input of 2.2 Megaohms that ensures consistent performance with a wide variety of instruments \u0026 other sources. The class-A design ensures that zero crossover distortion is added to the signal, which can add upper-order odd harmonics that are musically dissonant in nature. With the RNDI-M, the majority of harmonic content is a pleasing combination of 2nd order (octave) and 3rd order (fifth above octave). These musically relevant harmonics, present in subtle amounts, enhance the richness of the original signal and provide a distinctly musical response. Furthermore, the discrete aspect of the RNDI-M's design means there are no ICs or digital components that may cause negative effects on the tone. Features Groundbreaking Direct Tone - When class-A, discrete amplifiers meet Rupert's custom transformers, amazing things happen. The RNDI-M contains the unique components and design knowledge that make it worthy of the Rupert Neve name. Huge Headroom - Maximum input level is a massive +20.5dBu, making the RNDI-M capable of handling not only instruments but also keyboards, drum machines and even pre-recorded material. Rugged Solid Steel Frame - The rugged steel chassis is built to withstand the severe stresses of life on the road. Use on a Variety of Sources - The RNDI-M has immensely consistent performance across a wide variety of sources due to its 2.2M Ohm discrete FET input stage and high headroom. The RNDI-M can be used with confidence on guitars, synths, basses, acoustic instruments, keyboards \u0026 drum machines. Drive Longer Lines - The low impedance transformer coupled output below 40 ohms is capable of driving long lines while maintaining exceptional high frequency performance. 1\/4\" THRU Output - The THRU output can be used to maintain optimal input level to an amplifier with no signal degradation. Ground Lift - A Ground Lift switch is provided on the rear panel to isolate Pin 1 on the XLR balanced output from the circuit ground to help fix any potential grounding issues. Phantom Powered - The RNDI-M is powered by standard 48V phantom power. Power is indicated by a blue LED on the front panel.
