Congratulations on your purchase of the Radial ChainDrive, an innovative 500 series module
that lets you distribute four balanced line-level signals to eect processors, preamps and just
about any other audio input from your 500 series rack.
Although the ChainDrive is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, we recommend that you
take a minute to read this short manual to make sure you take full advantage of the many
features that are built in. Should you fi nd yourself asking a question that is not addressed,
we invite you to view the ChainDrive FAQ page on our website. This is where we post the
latest hints and of course questions from users. If you still do not fi nd what you are looking
for, feel free to send an email to info@radialeng.com and we will do our very best to respond
to you in short order.
Now get ready to patch, process and listen to the ChainDrive because this is what audio
engineers love to do the most!
WARNING NOTICE TO USER!
Although preventative safety measures have been designed into Radial 500 series
products we strictly advise against hot swapping modules or plugging and
unplugging them when the Workhorse or other 500 series rack is powered on. Hot
swapping can cause connection sparks at the card-edge connector that could send
damaging transients to other equipment. This also greatly reduces the life span of the
contacts. Damage due to hot swapping is not covered under warranty. There are no
user serviceable parts inside.
