1.  LINE LEVEL XLR INPUT: The input to the Radial X-Amp is a 

balanced line level female XLR. This is typically fed from the output 

of a recording device or mixing console. The XLR connector is wired 

with pin-2 hot following the AES standard. 

2.  GROUND: A ground lift switch disconnects pin-1 ground at the XLR 

input. Depressing this switch assumes you will be providing a ground 

path via the OUT-1 to your amplifier. Lifting the ground often helps 

reduce hum or buzz caused by so-called ground loops.

3.  CABLE CLAMP: Used to secure the power supply cable and prevent 

accidental power disconnection. 

4.  POWER: The 15VDC power supply is connected here. Plug in to 

activate the X-Amp. 

5.  FULL-BOTTOM NO-SLIP PAD: Provides mechanical isolation to 

reduce  slipping  and  electrical  isolation  from  amplifier  frames  and 

handles. 

6.  BOOKEND DESIGN: 14 gauge steel outer shell creates a protective 

zone around connectors and switches. Internal welded I beam 

construction for maximum durability. 

7.  POWER LED INDICATOR: The power  LED will immediately 

illuminate when the 15VDC supply is connected. 

FEATURE SET: INPUT PANEL
