The A-Designs REDDI V2 combines two independent REDDI tube direct boxes into a single 2RU chassis, delivering the same legendary tube tone trusted by professional bassists, recording engineers, keyboard players, and touring productions worldwide.
Quite simply, there is no better sounding way to convert an instrument, or line level signal, to XLR.
The same tone and sound from the REDDI is now available in a dual mono 2RU rack mount version. Designed with the help of top studio engineers and bass players, REDDI-v2 has been widely praised by engineers and musicians all over the world as the best-sounding DI solution on the market today.
It is important to note that the REDDI-v2 is not a high-gain device! Its gain structure has been painstakingly engineered to avoid the slightest compromise in sound quality. Inspired by the glorious sound of the Ampeg B-15 tube bass amp, the REDDI-v2 6N1-P tube-driven amplifier feeds signal directly into a hefty custom output transformer by Cinemag – a key component to providing 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 REDDI-v2's distinctive bright red steel chassis sports two front-panel Neutrik XLR/1/4" combo input jacks, two balanced XLR outputs, and two 1/4" thru-puts, for sending signal to a bass amp – not only useful for live applications, but also for simultaneously recording direct and miked amp tracks in the studio. A 0-16dB-Level control and a Red LED power indicator complete the front panel controls. The back panel contains a heavy-duty toggle switch for ground lift, along with the IEC power outlet.
The REDDI-v2's all-tube circuitry will enhance the character of any electrified instrument that runs through it -- not just bass -- but stereo keyboards, as well. Plug the pickup of an acoustic guitar through REDDI-v2 to add depth and fullness to its tone. Capture and improve all the richness and life of an electric piano or analog synthesizer. Warm up sterile sounding digital keyboards or drum machines by strapping a REDDI-v2 across their outputs – for stereo! The uses are endless.
