Getting Started With Power And Connections - Radial Engineering STAGEDIRECT User Manual

GETTING STARTED
Before making any connections, always ensure your audio system
is either turned down or turned off in order to protect more sensitive
components from damage due to turn-on or plug-in transients.
PHANTOM OR AC ADAPTER
The Radial StageDirect is unique in that it may be powered using either
48V phantom from the PA system or by using the included 15VDC power
supply. Most musicians will likely use phantom power as it is convenient.
The 15VDC power supply gives you the option should phantom power
not be available. A cable clamp is provided to lock down the power
cable. Use a screw driver to loosen and loop the cable through before re-
tightening the clamp. There
is no power switch on the
StageDirect. As soon as you
plug in the power supply or
turn on phantom power, it
will come to life. One of the
top panel LED indicators will
illuminate to let you know
power is being received.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Plug the hi-impedance ¼" instrument cable from your guitar or bass into
the StageDirect INPUT. Connect a standard low-impedance XLR cable
from the BALANCED OUT jack on the StageDirect to the PA system.
If you are using a stage amp, connect a second hi-impedance ¼"
instrument cable from the AMP output jack to your amplifi er. The AMP
output is transformer isolated to help eliminate noise caused by ground
loops. For best results keep hi-Z instrument cable under 6 meters(20').
