FRONT PANEL
(1) AUDIO INPUTS
Eight 1/4” unbalanced audio input jacks (one per channel)
(2)
PARALLEL LINK OUTPUTS
Eight 1/4” unbalanced line level jacks output connections for
parallel channel line distribution
REAR PANEL
(8) AUDIO OUTPUTS
Eight XLR balanced output connectors (one per channel)
(11) POWER CONNECTOR WITH FUSE HOLDER
This standard IEC power cord receptacle is used to connect the
AC power to your unit. It features a built-in fuse holder for a
5X20mm, 0.5A/250V slow-blow fuse. If the fuse continuously
blows, shut off the unit and have it serviced by qualified service
personnel.
(13) STEREO MASTER OUTPUTS
This pair of Left/Right unbalanced RCA jack outputs provides a
stereo output when the unit is used as a line mixer
(see
APPLICATIONS, Using the RDI-8 as a line mixer, pg. 6). The
output level is controlled by the individual channel VOLUME
CONTROLS (3) and the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (7). The
panning (L/R) is adjusted by the channel PAN CONTROLS (4).
(14) STEREO LINE OUTPUTS
This pair of Left/Right unbalanced RCA jack outputs provides a
second stereo output when the unit is used as a line mixer
(see
APPLICATIONS, Using the RDI-8 as a line mixer, pg. 6)
The output level is controlled by the individual channel VOLUME
CONTROLS (3). The panning (L/R) is adjusted by the channel
PAN CONTROLS (4).

CONTROLS & INDICATORS
FRONT PANEL
The RDI-8 has 8 independent direct injection unbalanced to
balanced line converters, in addition to a built-in 8-channel line
mixer. The unit provides 2 rotary controls (Volume & Pan) and 2
switches per channel (Ground lift & 20dB PAD).
(3)
VOLUME CONTROLS
Use these independent rotary controls to set the level of each
channel signal level sent to the stereo MASTER (13) and LINE
(14) outputs. They do not affect the signal level to the channel
OUPTUTS (8)
(4)
PAN CONTROLS
Use these independent rotary controls to set the PAN (Left and
Right Imaging) of each channel signal sent to the stereo
MASTER (13) and LINE (14) outputs.
(5)
GROUND LIFT SWITCHES
Use these switches to lift the ground in the input signal of the
channel being used (if needed to eliminate hum caused by that
input). These affect all the OUTPUTS (8,13,14)
(6)
20dB PAD SWITCHES
Use these switches to PAD each input channel signal level by
20dB. Use this only if you have an extremely high input signal
strength. These affect all the OUTPUTS (8,13,14)
(10) POWER LED INDICATOR
This LED indicator illuminates when the unit is powered on by the
rear panel POWER SWITCH (9).
REAR PANEL
(9) POWER SWITCH
To turn the unit ON or OFF, press the upper or lower portion of
this button as indicated. The front panel POWER LED
INDICATOR (10) will illuminate when the power is “ON”. Before
turning on this unit, verify connection to the proper voltage AC
source, check all connections and turn down the level controls of
equipment connected to the outputs.
(12) AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
Before plugging in the power cord, check to see that the unit is
set for the proper voltage for your area: ~115v (60Hz) or ~230V
(50Hz).
(Note: use at the improper voltage can damage your unit and
void the warranty.)

GROUND
Connect short wire to rack or other equipment to ground this unit
for safety.
