Introducing the Rupert Neve RNDI-M Active Transformer Direct Interface

Introducing the Rupert Neve RNDI-M Active Transformer Direct Interface! Rupert Neve has just released the new Rupert Neve RNDI-M Active Direct Interface. The RNDI-M brings the stunning tone & clarity of its award-winning counterparts to an even more compact and pedalboard-friendly format. It has the exact same custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer and discrete FET input stage as Rupert Neve's best-selling RNDI, RNDI-S, and RNDI-8. By streamlining its feature set and housing the electronics in a rugged & more compact chassis, the RNDI-M fits neatly into any space and allows even more musicians and engineers to tap into the uncompromised sonic power & vibrancy of a Rupert Neve Designs DI.

If you're not familiar with the original Rupert Neve RNDI, the Rupert Neve RNDI Active Direct Interface is the product of custom Rupert Neve-designed transformers and class-A biased, discrete FET amplifiers. The carefully orchestrated union of these two elements is key to the RNDI’s unique response, delivering a powerful and vibrant direct sound capable of reproducing the full harmonic depth of basses, guitars, acoustic instruments, and professional line level sources. The transformers provide superior passive isolation while adding musical harmonics and dimension to the sound. The low impedance, transformer balanced output excels at driving long cable runs, and performance is immensely consistent regardless of the connected equipment. This is very important for both live and studio environments where the unamplified signal may travel almost 100ft before hitting an amplifier. In other designs, these high capacitance lines cause major reductions in high frequencies, however the output stage of the RNDI unrivaled at handling long runs with minimal losses. These efforts to harmonize the performance of the transformer and the FET amplifier have resulted in the RNDI’s extremely well balanced response. The low end tonality is thick and powerful, with frequency response several octaves below audibility. The high end is clear, present, and smooth, with a frequency response extending beyond 100kHz. The phase coherence is unrivaled at all frequencies, which keeps the sound as natural as possible – especially vital when blending the direct signal with a microphone capture of the same source. Simply put, there is no DI ever made that performs like the RNDI. The RNDI-M is a smaller, stripped down version of the original, but with the same sound!
