RACK MOUNTING THE PRODIGy
For touring, the Prodigy may be mounted into a standard 19" rack using the optional rack
mount kit. This three piece kit (part number: R800 2020 02) enables one or two Prodigy to
be rack mounted in a 1RU rack space. We recommend leaving one rack space open above
the Prodigy to allow air flow.

CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER AND SPEAKER
You can connect amplifiers up to 120 Watts RMS (180W peak) to the Prodigy and drive
them at full power. We recommend using speaker cables eight feet or less in length with a
minimum gauge of 1.5mm
maintain the best power transfer. Use the chart below as a guide when selecting speaker
cables to use with your Prodigy.
