A 1\/4\" TRS effects insert jack on each channel allows connection to various devices, increasing routing versatility, while a thru-put jack can provide a direct feed to the musician's monitoring system. The front panel features isolated XLRs with low-noise balanced outputs, each equipped with ground lift and 180° polarity inversion switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"The heart of the ProD8 is an Eclipse ET-DB2 transformer with custom windings, performing both impedance matching and balancing.\" src=\"\/images\/uploads\/\/SProD8_1200x630_06.jpg\" title=\"The heart of the ProD8 is an Eclipse ET-DB2 transformer with custom windings, performing both impedance matching and balancing.\" \/\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransformer-based ProD8 for greater Headroom and low noise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the ProD8 is an Eclipse ET-DB2 transformer with custom windings, performing both impedance matching and balancing. It boasts a linear frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz, and is capable of withstanding the high dynamic levels of modern digital keyboards. Unlike active circuits that tend to overload and produce a square wave when the rail voltage is exceeded, transformers saturate instead. This means that as the signal increases, the ProD8 naturally rounds out the timbre, producing a warm Bessel curve, a characteristic reminiscent of the best vintage audio devices. The other significant advantage of passive circuitry is the 100% galvanic isolation between source and destination, which eliminates hum and noise caused by ground loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdaptable Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Radial ProD8 features reversible rack ears that increase its configuration versatility.
