Congratulations on your purchase of the Radial StageDirect! The
StageDirect combines a high quality Radial active direct box with an input
channel select footswitch and a mute footswitch with separate tuner out
that lets you tune in silence. This enables you to switch instruments and
tune up without disrupting the audience. No more nasty popping noise
that typically occurs while ‘hot-swapping’ your cable from one instrument
to the next.
Designed to be super easy to use, the StageDirect will get you up and
running in no time. That said, as with any new product that you get your
hands (or feet) on, we recommend that you take a little time to read
through the manual in order to familiarize yourself with the StageDirect
so you can get the most out of it.
If you have any questions that are not covered in this manual, please
consult the FAQ section on our web site as this is where we post the
latest updates and questions from other users. If you still can’t find what
you are looking for, feel free to send us a note at info@radialeng.com and
we will do our very best to reply in short order.
Now let’s make some foot-stomping music!
