Lessons in Life. A Tribute to Peter Janis (1958-2024)

Last week I received the very sad news about the passing of Peter Janis, the founder of Radial Engineering. I always admired Radial Engineering for its ability to always surprise and delight with inventive and practical solutions that solved real issues for musicians and audio engineers, in many fields of application. Every time I had the chance to meet Peter Janis at any trade show around the world, I would find that he enjoyed as much to surprise and delight with those inventive and practical solutions.

Just as it has been quietly doing with its other brands, Primacoustic, Jensen Transformers, Hafler, and Dynaco, Radial Engineering has launched its new website at www.radialeng.com. The new much improved website front has several features to make the user experience better, while maintaining the information rich content that Radial users have come to expect and rely upon. New 'personas' on the Home page are just one of several features improving user experience.

Radial Engineering announced the Bassbone V2, a second generation of the popular bass guitar preamp and DI box pedal, that features a dedicated effects loop, combination power booster-mute footswitch and piezo optimized input for upright bass. The Bassbone V2 audio performance in a compact box makes it an ideal front end for both live and studio recording.
