I did many tests comparing my signal using No DI, Radial DI, and Neve DI. The results were staggering. Even Radial pales in comparison. Clarity, & detail you have to hear to truly believe. Makes my Prophet 10 soar. The neve DI is the one teammate that makes every teammate around them play better. Most important piece of gear I own.
