True to the Music

¼" PHONE PANEL

REVERSABLE RACK EARS

 

allow you to setup the ProD8 

with either the ¼" jacks or XLR 

connectors facing front.

IN-A/B 

dual inputs on each 

channel auto-merge to mono.

THRU 

parallel thru-put connects 

to on-stage amp or mixer for 

personal monitoring.

LOOP 

each channel features 

an effects-loop on a TRS jack. 

Works like an insert on a mixing 

console. 

-15dB PAD

 reduces the input 

level by -15dB to prevent 

overload from high output 

devices. 

XLR PANEL

XLR OUTPUTS

 are balanced 

600 ohm, mic-level and 100% 

transformer-isolated to prevent 

ground loops.

LIFT

 disconnects pin-1 on the 

XLR output to isolate ground via 

the transformer.

180°

 reverses pins 2 & 3 on the 

XLR inverting the signal polarity 

to correct out-of-phase signals.

INTERNAL

WELDED 14-GUAGE STEEL

 

rackmount enclosure is  finished 

in durable baked enamel.

RADIAL TRANSFORMER 

with linear frequency response 

from 20Hz to 18KHz for natural 

sound. Mu-metal shield blocks 

electromagnetic interference.

PRE/POST EFX 

internal switch 

allows the THRU output to be 

pre or post the effects-loop.  

Factory set to post effects-loop.

CHASSIS GROUND 

internal 

switch allows individual ground 

paths for each channel.  

Factory set in the lifted position.

MIILITARY-GRADE 

double-

sided PCB is bolted to steel 

standoffs for toughness.

ISOLATED CONNECTORS

 

extremely tough glass-filled 

nylon for true channel isolation 

from chassis ground.
