Making Connections - Radial Engineering Headload Prodigy User Manual

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Before making any connections, make sure your guitar amp is turned off and the audio system
is either turned down or volume levels turned off. This will protect sensitive components such
as tweeters and speakers from turn-on or connection transients. If you are connecting to a
preamp or mixer, make sure the 48V phantom power is turned off as it is not required. Always
use heavy 14-gauge speaker wires (or heavier if possible) between the Headload Prodigy and
your amplifier to ensure optimal signal flow from the head to the speaker cabinet.
The Prodigy does not have a power switch. As soon as you connect the power supply, it will
automatically turn on and the front panel power LED will illuminate. A handy cable clamp is
provided that can be used to secure the power supply if needed. Simply loosen with a hex
key, slip the power supply cable into the cavity and tighten.
Use a hex driver to
loosen the cable lock.
Set the Prodigy controls to the start position with the tone controls to 12 o'clock, the two level
controls to off (7 o'clock), and the ground lift and polarity reverse switches in the outward
position. The rear panel ground lift switch is recessed to prevent accidental changes during
a show. To activate, use a small screwdriver.
