Question:
What type of cables do I need for the J48 MK2?

Radial Engineering Direct Boxes R8003001 Editorial Review
The Radial J48 MK2 48V Phantom Power Active Direct Box is a high-quality DI box that is highly recommended for both active and passive basses. It provides extra punch to passive pickups and works well with software and audio interfaces. The DI box runs on phantom power, so there is no need for batteries or a power source. It is a clean pre-amp that can handle stereo inputs and is suitable for DJ, keyboard, bass, and guitar applications. However, if you are looking to use it at the end of a pedalboard or in a pedal chain setup, there are more cost-effective options available.
