Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-S Stereo Active Amplifier Transformer Direct Box
An expanded Two-Channel Version of our Best-Selling RNDI, Providing Massive Tone & Headroom for all of Your Instruments & Stereo Sources
The RNDI-S signature sound is the product of custom Rupert Neve Designs transformers and class-A biased, discrete FET amplifiers. The carefully orchestrated union of these two elements is key to the unique response of the RNDI-S, delivering a powerful and vibrant direct sound capable of reproducing the full harmonic depth of basses, guitars, keyboards, acoustic instruments, professional line-level sources and consumer devices with a 3.5mm jack.
With portable, powerful, larger-than-life tone, the RNDI-S is ready to make your stereo or mono direct sources shine.
The Development of the RNDI
After coming into existence during an experimentation with new transformer designs, the RNDI was fine-tuned over a series of listening tests against the most popular high-end DIs available. It was in these tests where the RNDI always seemed to add another dimension to the sound and bring the instruments to life. The lows felt richer, deeper and fuller, and the highs had outstanding clarity without any added harshness.
