INSPECTION Your RDI-8 was carefully packed at the factory in packaging designed to protect the units in shipment. Before installing and using your unit, carefully examine the packaging and all contents for any signs of physical damage that may have occurred in transit. (Note: Nady Systems is not responsible for shipping damage. If the unit is damaged, do not return to us, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately to make a claim. Such claims must be made by the consignee in a timely manner. ) CONTENTS: · Instruction manual · RDI-8 (verify that the unit's serial number is same as shown on shipping carton) · AC Power cord · Warranty Card RACK MOUNTING The RDI-8 fits into one standard 19" rack unit of space (1 3/4"). Parts of the unit can become very warm during use. Care should be taken to ensure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling (at least 12" or 30cm). Do not place the RDI-8 on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers, etc. , or the unit may overheat in operation. Also, do not place the unit on speakers as this may cause them to move and/or fall due to speaker vibrations. Although the unit's chassis is shielded against radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided. POWER CONNECTION The RDI-8 has an internal power supply and is designed to operate from an external AC source. Power requirements for electrical equipment differ from area to area. Be sure to confirm that the voltage selected by the voltage selector switch on the back panel is proper for your area (120VAC/60 Hz or 230VAC/50Hz) per the information below: Europe (except UK): 230V, 50Hz UK and Australia: 240V, 50Hz USA and Canada: 120V, 60 Hz For other areas, please check with local authorities. When ready to operate, plug the AC cord into the power source. Make sure that the unit is turned off before connecting to the AC power source to avoid possible loud transients which can damage your speakers or your ears, especially when monitoring with headphones. 4 FRONT & REAR CONNECTIONS (1) (2) (6) (10) 6 FRONT PANEL REAR PANEL (3) (4) (5) (7) (11) (12) (9) (15) (8) (13) (14) (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. 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). 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. 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.
