Using The Mute Footswitch; Using The Remote Mute - Radial Engineering STAGEDIRECT User Manual

®

USING THE MUTE FOOTSWITCH

The top mounted mute footswitch adds another dimension by enabling
you to turn off the signal going to your stage amp and the PA system by
simply depressing the footswitch. Once muted, the tuner output remains
active to let you tune in silence without bothering the audience.
The mute footswitch also lets you
noiselessly disconnect
or bass to exchange instruments on
stage. This is particularly benefi cial as it
eliminates the need to set your amp on
standby or have the audio engineer turn
down your channel on the PA system
each time you want to change your guitar. When the outputs are muted,
the red LED adjacent to the footswitch will illuminate. When the outputs
are active, the green LED adjacent to the footswitch illuminates.

USING THE REMOTE MUTE

The StageDirect may also be remotely
muted using a ¼" tip-sleeve momentary
(non-latching) footswitch. These are
available from your local music store
and are often used as a sustain pedal
for an electronic piano.
Simply plug the momentary pedal's ¼" connector into the REMOTE
input jack to test. The local footswitch on the StageDirect will continue to
function allowing you to control the mute function from either footswitch.
