Overview

The Radial USB-Pro is a specialized DI box from Radial Engineering.

It is not your standard DI box in that it's primary purpose is to allow you to connect your laptop to a mixer, p.a. system, or recorder with a strong signal and minimal noise.

Despite requiring a USB connection, it is not meant to be an audio interface -- rather, it becomes an extension of your playback device.

Being a specialty product, it was engineered to do one thing well: convert laptop audio into a balanced stereo signal to XLR. Some may wonder why not just use a small adapter to plug into the mixer but anyone who's ever performed knows how much could go wrong in that setup. Having a secure means of sending audio from your laptop in stereo is essential for great performances on stage or consistent program material during events.
