The Rupert Neve Designs RNDI-S Stereo Active Transformer Direct Interface is a high-quality stereo DI designed to bring the legendary Rupert Neve sound to a variety of stereo instruments and audio sources. Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, the RNDI-S delivers unmatched sonic clarity, warmth, and depth thanks to its Rupert Neve custom transformers and high-headroom active design.

At the core of the RNDI-S are the custom transformers, which are designed to impart the classic harmonic richness and subtle saturation that Rupert Neve’s designs are famous for. These transformers bring out the full tonal character of your instruments, adding warmth and depth to your signal without sacrificing detail. This makes the RNDI-S perfect for stereo sources like keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, acoustic guitars with stereo pickups, and line-level outputs from audio interfaces or playback devices.

The RNDI-S offers a high-headroom design that ensures it can handle even the most powerful signals without unwanted distortion or clipping. Whether you’re using hot-output synthesizers, active basses, or any other high-output stereo instruments, the RNDI-S preserves the integrity of the original signal, allowing you to push your gear to its limits while maintaining clean, accurate sound reproduction.

The balanced XLR outputs provide clean, noise-free signal transmission to your mixing console, interface, or recording device, ensuring that your audio remains pristine even in the most demanding environments. The balanced outputs also allow for long cable runs without signal degradation, making the RNDI-S an ideal choice for both live performance and studio recording.

The RNDI-S operates on 48V phantom power, making it easy to integrate into any professional audio system without the need for additional power supplies or batteries. This feature ensures reliable, consistent performance in a wide variety of settings, from small project studios to large-scale live sound environments.

To eliminate unwanted hum caused by ground loops, the RNDI-S includes a ground lift switch. This simple yet effective feature ensures clean, noise-free performance in complex live and studio setups, where grounding issues can often cause interference and unwanted noise.

Designed for versatility, the RNDI-S excels in a wide range of applications. It’s perfect for stereo sources, providing faithful reproduction of keyboards, stereo guitars, drum machines, and synths in live performances and studio recordings. The stereo DI also shines in capturing the natural acoustic qualities of stereo mic setups or stereo line-level outputs, adding the subtle harmonic warmth and clarity that only Neve’s designs can provide.
