RA-SGI-44
Radial Engineering SGI-44 Studio Guitar Interface
The Radial SGI-44 Studio Guitar interface, is a DI that has an identical signal path internally, that can be used to extend cable runs on stage, or hook up a pedal board that’s far away wirelessly. In the studio, you can also use 2 x SGI-44’s to isolate your amp from your control room and pedalboard.
Type: DI Boxes

Radial SGI-44 PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Bidirectional long-distance 'send & receive' effects router
- Drive guitar & bass signals beyond 100 meters
- 100% discrete class-A circuitry
- Works with the Radial JX44 guitar & amp selector
Using the SGI-44 to extend a guitar cable:
As with all audio equipment, make sure signal levels are turned down before making connections. This will eliminate turn on transients from causing harm to more sensitive electronic devices. The Radial SGI-44 is and advanced interface that is plug & play easy to use.
Connect the source to the input, the XLR send to a second SGI-44's receive and the output to a guitar amp. Set the Drag Control to 12 o'clock and listen. Turning the control counter-clockwise will increase the load which will have the effect of darkening the signal. Turning Drag clockwise will brighten the tone. Adjust to suit.
This set-up is often used in the studio or on a stage where the amplifiers are moved off stage to reduce the sound pressure on stage and bleed from the stage going into the audience.
Using the SGI-44 as an effects loop:
Connect the SGI-44 as described above only this time, the source will typically come from a wireless system or the Radial JX44. The SGI-44 lets you send the signal to a series of distant guitar pedals that are located at the front of the stage and then using a second unit, it sends the signal back to the amps.
A convenient tuner output lets you monitor the signal at either end. When used with the JX44 and the JR5 footswitch, you can remotely mute the signal for tuning and then bring the system back to life with a single foot stomp. -
