Radial Engineering R800 1050 Overview

The Radial Engineering USB-Pro is a stereo USB laptop DI offering high-resolution conversion and an easy plug-and-play solution for connecting a Mac or Windows computer to a PA system or mixing console. Plus, its integrated headphone amplifier allows convenient signal monitoring at the DI.

The USB-Pro features two balanced XLR 3-pin outputs, which can feed mic- or line-level inputs thanks to the unit's handy level control. The auto-sensing USB input automatically configures the USB-Pro for digital input streams up to 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution. Since the USB-Pro is bus powered via USB, it requires no batteries, phantom power, or bulky power adapters.

Engage the mono switch to check for phasing, reduce the channel count on your mixer, or facilitate signal duplication to the two XLR outputs. Should hum or buzz caused by ground loops be encountered, the side-panel switches let you insert isolation transformers into the signal path. To further reduce susceptibility to noise, this is augmented with a ground-lift switch that lifts pin 1 on the XLR outputs.

Rugged 14-gauge steel construction along with Radial's bookend design ensure road-worthy reliability while the no-slip pad provides mechanical and electrical isolation.

I used it on stage for running tracks on Ableton. And I also use it for my keyboard rig.

Enables great sound from laptop to portable PA speaker.

Connected a portable PA system via the XLR. Super easy - shows up as a speaker output without any setup. The mono button worked great for our single speaker. Sound was clean and we could utilize the full power of the PA without quality issues.

If you’ve ever had issues with using a headphone amp (out) from your device for push to your PA, this fixes your issue. Great stereo sound with clear signal. Perfect for lower volume videos.

Works perfectly! It's also built like a tank, so I'd be willing to bet this thing could take some serious abuse as well.

Powerful

Great way to get a clean crisp stereo sound out of your laptop and not worry about 1/8 inch chords and the sometimes ginger headphone port on laptops. This purple box is built like a tank. I wish radial would make a thunderblot version.

Love the gain control on the box itself. Would love to see it updated to usb c and still keep the usb b option.

Solid well-built direct box
