HOW TO USE THE PRODIGy
As the Prodigy may be used in three different ways, it is important that you first determine
how you plan to use it before making connections.
1. As a simple direct box
2. For 50% attenuation
3. For silent performance
1. Using the Prodigy as a Simple Direct Box
Used this way, the Prodigy acts as an interface that lets you send the sound of your amp using
the built-in Radial JDX™ balanced output to the PA or recording system. This takes advantage
of the reactive load that captures both the sound of your amp head and the back-electromotive
impulse from the loudspeaker. It has no audible effect to your amp sound.
a. Connect the output from your amp to the Prodigy FROM AMP ¼” input
b. Connect the 100% output from the Prodigy to your speaker cabinet
c. Connect the XLR output from the Prodigy to the PA mixer or recording preamp
d. Connect the power adaptor to the Prodigy to turn it on – there is no power switch
e. Power up your amp and slowly increase the volume
