The Radial ProD8 is a high density
rack mount 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 Radial ProD8 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 an XLR
connector, -15dB input pad selector and ground lift switch. A 180º
polarity reverse switch is internally mounted and factory set with pin 2
hot.
Completely passive, the Radial ProD8 employs eight custom wound
Radial transformers that are linear from 20 Hz to 18 kHz 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.
The main features of the Radial ProD8 include:
- Eight Radial DI's in a high density rack format
- Redundant input connectors for 'main' and 'backup' inputs
- Custom Radial transformers for linear performance
- Designed to handle highly dynamic sources
- Rack ears reverse so either panel can face front
