I needed a DI for studio and live use, and didn?t want to compromise in quality or sound. So far, I?ve been really happy with it. I?ve used it on bass guitar and analog synthesizers, and the RNDI has performed perfectly.
As this is the only DI-box I own, I figured I?d rather have a clean sounding box than one that alters/colors the sound, which is exactly what I got. A nice, clear, uncolored sound, suitable for many styles.
I have yet not tried it between my amp-head and cab, but it?s a great feature that I?ll try the next time I?m playing bass in a live situation. For those of you who haven?t heard of this feature, it can handle the signal from your amplifier, giving you the option of sending your amplified tone to the FOH.
If you need a DI-box with a neutral sound, I can recommend spending the extra bucks for the RNDI for many reasons:
- Top of the line sound
- Top of the line build quality (it?s really sturdy)
- Suitable for many different types of instruments
- Great for both live and studio situations.
If you want a colored sound, I would look for something else, possibly A-Designs REDDI or another tube DI.
