Linear from 20Hz to 20kHz, it is able to withstand the extreme dynamics common with today's digital keyboards. Unlike active circuits that overload and square wave when the rail voltage is exceeded, transformers saturate. This means that as the signal increases, the ProD8 naturally rounds out the tone producing a warm Bessel curve reminiscent of the very best vintage audio gear. The other significant advantage to this passive design is 100% galvanic isolation between the source and destination, which eliminates hum and buzz caused by ground loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdaptable Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo enhance setup options, the Radial ProD8 is equipped with reversible rack ears.
