Radial Engineering J33 Phono Preamp & DI Box for Turntable Vinyl Record Player
Product Introduction
The Radial Engineering J33 Phono Preamp & DI Box is a professional-grade solution designed to connect turntables and vinyl record players directly to mixers, PA systems, recording interfaces, and audio processors. Combining a high-quality RIAA phono preamp with an active direct box, the J33 bridges the gap between consumer audio equipment and professional sound systems.
Whether you are a DJ, recording engineer, audiophile, church technician, event organizer, or venue owner, the J33 ensures clean, balanced audio transmission while preserving the warmth and character of your vinyl recordings. With stereo RCA, 1/4" TRS, 3.5mm, and balanced XLR outputs, the J33 provides unmatched flexibility for both live and studio applications.
Product Description
Many turntables output low-level phono signals that cannot be connected directly to professional audio equipment. The Radial J33 solves this problem by incorporating a premium RIAA equalized phono preamp and an active DI box into a single compact unit.
The J33 converts the delicate phono signal from a turntable into both consumer line-level and professional balanced microphone-level outputs. This allows seamless integration with mixing consoles, audio interfaces, powered speakers, amplifiers, broadcast systems, and PA systems.
Designed for superior sound quality, the J33 features a built-in low-frequency rumble filter that removes unwanted turntable noise and vibrations. It can be powered using either standard 48V phantom power from a mixer or an external DC power supply, making it ideal for fixed installations, mobile DJs, houses of worship, recording studios, restaurants, hotels, and event venues.
From archiving vinyl collections to incorporating records into live performances, the J33 delivers exceptional clarity, low noise, and reliable operation in any professional audio environment.
