USING THE RADIAL ProD8
For live touring, the most common approach to using a direct box is to connect the instrument to the A/B in-
puts, your personal monitoring amp system from the THRU and the balanced XLR output to the PA system.
The Radial ProD8 of course does this and then multiplies this by eight. Since the ProD8 is so fl exible, the
following diagrams show some of the system set-ups that you could apply.
