The ProD8 is a high density rackmount 8-channel
19" direct box that is specifically designed
to interface keyboards and pre-recorded backing
tracks to the PA system with redundant inputs for
live performance back-up.
The ProD8's input panel is equipped with two A-B
¼" inputs per DI channel for main and
back-up sources, throughput for personal monitoring
and an effects loop that allows both A-B sources
to share the same effects for each channel. The
output panel features a XLR connector, -15dB input
pad selector and ground lift witch. A 180º
polarity reverse switch is internally mounted and
factory set with pin 2 hot. Completely passive,
the ProD8 employs eight custom wound Radial transformers
that are linear from 20Hz to 18kHz and able to withstand
highly dynamic levels from sources such as digital
samplers and drum machines without flinching. To
reduce interference from outside magnetic fields,
the transformers are equipped with a mu-metal-nickel
outer shield thus reducing phase distortion to an
absolute minimum.
For greater system setup flexibility, the Radial
ProD8 features a reversible set of rack ears that
allows the ¼" input panel or the XLR
output panels to be position at the front or back,
depending on the system engineers preference. |
