The output level is controlled by the individual channel VOLUME CONTROLS (3) and the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (7).
APPLICATIONS USING THE RDI-8 AS A DI BOX (DIRECT INJECTION UNIT) Connect the signal you would like to convert from unbalanced to balanced to the RDI-8 via a 1/4” unbalanced plug to one of the channel LINE INPUTS (1) on the front panel of the unit. Connect an XLR balanced cable to the corresponding channel OUTPUT (8) on the rear of the RDI-8 and connect to your chosen destination. If the input signal strength is too “hot” (high) you can depress the 20dB PAD (6) switch to adjust to a more appropriate level.
