The Radial JD6 is a multi-channel passive direct box that has been specifically designed to address the needs of concert touring, while being equally at home in the studio. The JD6 houses six completely independent transformer isolated channels for minimal cross-talk and maximum protection against noise, 60 cycle hum and buzz or hum caused by ground loops. The JD6 employs the finest Jensen® audio transformers for absolute performance while delivering the warmth and character that has made Radial the world’s most revered direct box producer. The JD6 employs the same audio circuit as the renowned Radial JDI for explosive signal handling, virtually zero phase distortion and a truly linear response.
