Connecting The Pro48; Using The Pro48 - Radial Engineering Pro48 User Manual

CONNECTING THE Pro48

Before connecting the Pro48, start by making sure all volume levels are set
to zero. This will avoid any loud pops in your sound system that could cause
driver damage. Confi rm the Pro48 switches are in their 'out' position.
Begin by connecting your instrument to the ¼" INPUT jack on the Pro48. The
instrument signal may be connected through the Pro48 to an amplifi er using
the ¼" THRU jack.
Finally, connect the LOW-Z OUT to the input of a microphone snake or mixing
console using a balanced XLR cable. The Pro48 can drive very long cable in
excess of 300 feet without signal loss.

USING THE Pro48

Once your cables are connected, turn on the phantom power source. The LED
on the Pro48 will light to confi rm phantom power is present and the Pro48 is
active. Start at a low volume to make sure everything is working properly be-
fore increasing the level.
If you encounter distortion, check the input level at your mixer fi rst. If your
mixer controls appear normal, try depressing the input PAD switch on the
Pro48. This will reduce the input level by -15dB.
If you encounter any buzz or hum, try lifting the ground switch on the Pro48
with the LIFT switch. This interrupts the signal ground between the input and
output to reduce hum and buzz caused by ground loops.
Now close your eyes and rediscover the sound of your instrument.
