The design of Vintage Direct was inspired by the earliest hand-wired DI boxes, such as the Wolfbox and Bruce Swedien's Bass Box, both of which used massive early transformers made by Triad, UTC, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eResearch began with the UTC A12 transformer, first manufactured in the early '60s. Several original transformers were measured to accurately reproduce their winding ratios, bobbin and magnet wire type, and lamination style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnited spent years exploring many versions of this design, experimenting with different winding ratios and alloys; they ultimately settled on a high-nickel lamination and a winding ratio very close to the classics that inspired us. The result: United's US-made 5078\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eone of the largest transformers you'll find in a DI.

Most passive DI boxes use smaller, unshielded transformers reliant on resistor pads, volume pots, and RC network filters before the signal hits the transformer. Vintage Direct has none of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, level tailoring in the Vintage Direct is built into the transformer taps of its output, which is far more tolerant of adjustment without affecting tone. Vintage Direct uses three different secondary winding configurations in conjunction with a precision resistor T-pad output attenuator for six evenly-spaced output level settings. True ground isolation mitigates ground-loop hum while tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnited built a large, well-shielded transformer that can take any line or instrument-level signal without risking overload.

With the RNDI, the majority of harmonic content is a pleasing combination of 2nd order (octave) and 3rd order (fifth above octave). These musically relevant harmonics, present in subtle amounts, enhance the richness of the original signal and provide a distinctly musical response.
