Radial has proclaimed the Duplex to be “the world’s finest passive stereo direct box” and we’re struggling to prove them wrong.
It’s basically a pair of their famously clear and dependable JDI passive DIs together in Radial’s traditionally bomb-proof housing.
Best used for stage keyboards – and when a great performer has spend $thousands getting their sounds right, years perfecting their craft and those magic moments are coming at your PA like a hurricane, you’d best make sure the signal chain is going to keep up.
Don’t choke the sound, let it fly.

Like the Radial JDI, the Duplex employs two high-performance ‘made in the USA’ audio transformers and the same pristine audio signal path that has made the JDI the industry standard. It features exceptional signal handling with virtually zero phase shift or harmonic distortion, while remaining linear across the entire audio spectrum. When driven to extremes, the natural transformer saturation and resulting warm Bessel curve makes the Radial Duplex the perfect choice for smoothing out highly dynamic instruments such as digital pianos and electronic drums that can sound harsh when pushed. Transformer isolation provides the additional benefit of eliminating troublesome ground loops that can cause hum and buzz in the audio system or interfere with video displays.
