(13) STEREO MASTER OUTPUTS

This pair of Left/Right unbalanced RCA jack outputs provides a stereo output when the unit is used as a line mixer (see

APPLICATIONS, Using the RDI-8 as a line mixer, pg. 6). The

output level is controlled by the individual channel VOLUME CONTROLS (3) and the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (7). The panning (L/R) is adjusted by the channel PAN CONTROLS (4).

REAR PANEL

(8)AUDIO OUTPUTS

Eight XLR balanced output connectors (one per channel)

(11) POWER CONNECTOR WITH FUSE HOLDER

This standard IEC power cord receptacle is used to connect the AC power to your unit. It features a built-in fuse holder for a 5X20mm, 0.5A/250V slow-blow fuse. If the fuse continuously blows, shut off the unit and have it serviced by qualified service personnel.

(14) STEREO LINE OUTPUTS

This pair of Left/Right unbalanced RCA jack outputs provides a second stereo output when the unit is used as a line mixer (see APPLICATIONS, Using the RDI-8 as a line mixer, pg. 6)

The output level is controlled by the individual channel VOLUME CONTROLS (3). The panning (L/R) is adjusted by the channel PAN CONTROLS (4).

CONTROLS & INDICATORS

FRONT PANEL

The RDI-8 has 8 independent direct injection unbalanced to balanced line converters, in addition to a built-in 8-channel line mixer. The unit provides 2 rotary controls (Volume & Pan) and 2 switches per channel (Ground lift & 20dB PAD).

(3)VOLUME CONTROLS

Use these independent rotary controls to set the level of each channel signal level sent to the stereo MASTER (13) and LINE

(14)outputs. They do not affect the signal level to the channel

OUPTUTS (8)

(4)PAN CONTROLS

Use these independent rotary controls to set the PAN (Left and Right Imaging) of each channel signal sent to the stereo MASTER (13) and LINE (14) outputs.

(5)GROUND LIFT SWITCHES

Use these switches to lift the ground in the input signal of the channel being used (if needed to eliminate hum caused by that input). These affect all the OUTPUTS (8,13,14)

(6)20dB PAD SWITCHES

Use these switches to PAD each input channel signal level by 20dB. Use this only if you have an extremely high input signal strength. These affect all the OUTPUTS (8,13,14)

(10) POWER LED INDICATOR

This LED indicator illuminates when the unit is powered on by the rear panel POWER SWITCH (9).

REAR PANEL

(9)POWER SWITCH

To turn the unit ON or OFF, press the upper or lower portion of this button as indicated. The front panel POWER LED INDICATOR (10) will illuminate when the power is “ON”. Before turning on this unit, verify connection to the proper voltage AC source, check all connections and turn down the level controls of equipment connected to the outputs.

(12) AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH

Before plugging in the power cord, check to see that the unit is set for the proper voltage for your area: ~115v (60Hz) or ~230V (50Hz).

(Note: use at the improper voltage can damage your unit and void the warranty.)

(15) GROUND

Connect short wire to rack or other equipment to ground this unit for safety.
