The fifth season of the program lived up to expectations, using professional concert-grade audio system equipment, including RUPERT NEVE DI boxes, to fully ensure the smooth progress of the show. It presents China’s natural landscapes through poems, interprets the historical civilization of the Chinese nation, eulogizes a happy life with songs, and cheers enthusiastically for the live performances.

As a conversion device for musical instrument signals, the internal circuit design and component selection of a DI box directly affect the performance of the instrument. Choosing high-quality products results in less signal coloration and cleaner sound.
However, RUPERT NEVE’s RNDI is a genuinely high-quality DI. It can convert high-impedance signals from on-site instruments to low-impedance without the slightest loss of their original tone. Thanks to the proprietary Rupert Neve transformer technology in RNDI, the sound retains complete signal information and dynamics during transmission and conversion, providing sufficient dynamic headroom with richer, more solid details.
The RNDI-S uses a biased discrete FET amplifier circuit, delivering the same signature sound performance. Whether it’s mono bass or guitar signals, stereo keyboards, or various acoustic instruments, the RNDI-S adds a 3.5mm stereo input port for connecting consumer-grade devices such as CDs and mobile phones, allowing people to feel the power and color from Rupert Neve amplifiers from any sound source.
With five thousand years of culture and three thousand years of poetic charm, our culture has never been interrupted. Everlasting Classics uses professional, high-quality audio equipment to provide strong support for the program, making classic works resound. It interprets classic literary works through modern artistic presentation methods, inherits and disseminates excellent traditional Chinese culture, and works with the audience to convey positive and virtuous mainstream values.
