Frequently Asked Questions - SixPack Radial Engineering
How do I connect the SixPack to my mixing console?
Use XLR cables from your microphone or line source to the input of the SixPack. Connect balanced 1/4" TRS cables from the output to your console's line inputs. Ensure ground lift switches are set appropriately.
What is the function of the ground lift switch?
The ground lift disconnects pin 1 of the XLR from chassis ground to eliminate hum caused by ground loops. Start with the switch in the 'lift' position and toggle as needed.
How do I use the -15 dB pad?
The pad attenuates the input signal by 15 dB to accommodate high-level sources. Engage it when the input LED clips or the output distorts.
Does the SixPack require phantom power?
No, it is a passive direct box. Phantom power is neither required nor passed through. The unit operates without any power source.
Can I use the SixPack with unbalanced gear?
Yes, you can connect unbalanced 1/4" TS cables to the outputs. However, for best noise rejection, use balanced TRS cables whenever possible.
What is the maximum input level?
With the pad off, maximum input level is +21 dBu. With pad engaged, it can handle up to +36 dBu.
How do I clean the SixPack?
Use a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the unit is disconnected from any audio system before cleaning.
Is the SixPack rackmountable?
Yes, it is designed for 19" rack mounting and occupies 1U of space. Rack ears are included.
What is the warranty period?
Radial Engineering offers a 3-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I use the SixPack for reamping?
No, the SixPack is designed for signal conversion from balanced to unbalanced. For reamping, you would need a dedicated reamp box like the Radial X-Amp.
