The Radial SGI Studio Guitar Interface class-A line driver with load correction lets you send a guitar signal up to 100 meters via balanced cable without noise. They are the perfect solution for any time you need to send an instrument’s signal over long distances with pristine quality. Do you run your amp off-stage? Then a line driver is for you!īut line drivers aren’t only for guitarists. Line drivers are extremely important for guitarists who rely on long pedalboard leads to reach distant amps and/or cabinets for isolation purposes. Put a good-quality line driver between your output and amplifier, and you’ll capture the authentic sound of the original guitar track. The same goes for reamping loud guitar amps. They allow studios to keep the loud amplifiers in loud live rooms or booths while the guitarist plays in the control room, all without any signal loss. By matching levels and impedances of the source signal and its destination, line drivers give your signal added strength and help it resist signal degradation brought on by capacitance.Īs useful as this is in an on-stage scenario, line drivers are also super helpful in recording studios for much of the same reasons. Line drivers are critical if you need to send these audio signals over long distances. This robs the signal of its top-end detail. Each adds capacitance and is much like turning the guitar’s tone knob back. Often, long cable runs and effects pedals are the usual culprits for degrading the tone of your guitar. This makes it very susceptible to tone loss as it travels through the signal chain. The signal coming off of a guitar pickup is high impedance and extremely weak. We’ll also highlight the best Radial products for the job. We’ll look at what each category is, what they’re for, and why they’re essential. So let’s explore four of these audio equipment categories right now. Audio Equipment CategoriesĮven with all of the tools and options we offer, they usually fall into a few main categories. From our famous DIs to our 500-series lunchbox setups, we have the right “secret weapon” for every studio, engineer, and musician. That’s why at Radial we’ve built our company on offering these studio solutions with top-tier components, construction, and sound quality.
