Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-8 8-Channel Analog DI Interface and Distributor

The RNDI-8 is perfect for low-output audio sources with instrument-level signals, such as electric guitar and bass, synthesizers, keyboards, piezo pickups, and more, and the 2-megohm discrete FET inputs with their massive +21 dBu headroom perform with immense consistency across a wide variety of sources, including professional line-level signals. The rugged 1 RU steel chassis features an industrial-grade powder coating, allowing it to withstand the intense stresses of life on the road, and you can optionally use the included bolt-on rack ears for either standard rack mounting, or in a reverse position, providing multiple mounting options for most rig setups.

Legendary Tone, Unquestionable Reliability

Capitalizing on the RNDI s reputation as the direct interface of choice for many of the world s most discerning musicians and engineers, the RNDI-8 from Rupert Neve Designs is an 8-channel version of their venerable DI, delivering stunning headroom, extremely wide bandwidth, and fantastic-sounding, discrete, class-A FET input amplifiers with custom-wound, DC-coupled output transformers for optimal accuracy and signal strength over ultralong cable runs. Ideal for professional stage rigs, touring rigs, and studios, the RNDI-8 sports selectable -10 dB pad and +48V phantom power on each channel for feeding its FET input amplifiers as well as 1/4 thru outputs for input amplifiers during live sound reinforcement.

Two Distinct Ground-Lift Options

Most direct interfaces include a ground-lift switch at the output, and the RNDI-8 includes this standard DI lifting option via eight individual Pin 1 Isolate switches on the rear panel. Engaging this button will usually eliminate common sources of hum in the signal path. However, the RNDI-8 also includes eight ground-lift buttons on the front panel, which separate each channel s circuit ground from the chassis ground, providing another helpful option to detect and eliminate unwanted ground hum.
