Using The Direct Output - Radial Engineering Tonebone Bassbone V2 User Manual

THE RADIAL DIRECT BOX
The Bassbone V2 is equipped with a built in Radial direct box with a
balanced XLR direct output. The direct output is used to feed a PA or
recording console. You can use it to reinforce the sound from your bass
amp or go direct without an amp using the Bassbone to control your
sound through the PA. The direct output is particularly handy in the studio
for direct recording, or where bringing an amplifi er may not be practical.
Simply connect the XLR direct output to the mixer and use the Bassbone
as your miniature preamp. All your EQ settings are now right at your feet!
It's important to note that because the direct output is post-'everything'
all of the Bassbone's EQ, level and effects-loop settings will be heard.
This is particularly advantageous when playing gigs without a sound
engineer. An example would be on a solo where the engineer would
normally increase the bass volume. By engaging the Bassbone's power
booster, the level will increase on your bass amp and at the mixer at the
same time.
LEVEL EFX LOOP
Connect the direct output to the microphone input of a mixing console
using standard XLR cable up to 100 meters (300'). The XLR male
connector is wired to AES standards with pin-1 ground, pin-2 hot (+) and
pin-3 cold (-).
