RACKMOUNT OPTIONS
Reversible rack rails allow you to decide which connector panel faces the front of your rack.
Depending on your system setup, you may want to have the XLRs facing ‘out’ of your rack and the ¼” inputs
and thru-puts on the inside. This would be the most common approach especially if you are using a number
of rack-mounted sound modules.
Some system techs prefer to have access to the ¼" inputs. They will then have an XLR or multi-pin breakout
panel made to connect the snake systems. This approach is useful when using the ProD8 with non-rack-
mounted instruments.
The ProD8 can accommodates both setups. Simply unscrew the two large Phillips screws on the rack ear,
loosen the center screw and rotate the rack ear to the side that works best for you. Re-insert the screws so
that they are nice and tight and you are ready to go!
CHASSIS GROUNDING
The Radial ProD8 is equipped with a threaded ground lug on the chassis to allow star grounding. The
ground lug connection, along with the internal chassis ground switch, would likely only be used in complex
stage set-ups where extreme noise problems may occur. We suggest you speak with a qualified technician
should you plan to use alternate grounding schemes.
