Thank you for your purchase of the XD-AD8 antenna distribution system. The system allows multiple wireless receivers to share the same pair of antennas, giving greater flexibility in the configuration of multi-wireless installations. With rack-mounted wireless systems, setup is easier and the wiring connections are uncluttered, with the added convenience of powering the receivers from the AD8.

Setting Up Antennas The XD-AD8 allows multiple wireless receivers to share a single pair of remote antennas, achieving the same RF signal level and isolation possible with individual pairs of remote antennas connected to each receiver. • Mount the XD-AD8 in a rack.
Powering Receivers from the XD-AD8 In addition to providing antenna distribution, the XD-AD8 has the capacity to power up to eight Line 6 receivers, including models XD-V75, XD-V70, XD-V55, Relay G55 and Relay G50. When powered in this manner, the external power supply that comes with the receiver need not be used. Two power distribution cables are included with the antenna distribution system.
for 25 feet, 15 dB for 50 feet, and 26 dB for 100 feet. Once connected and with the receiver on, confirm that the blue light on the front of the antenna is lit. Walk-test the area after the antennas are placed to make sure that it is properly covered without interference or dropouts. Note, As the RF signal travels through the cable to the antenna distribution system, there will be some loss of signal level, which at greater lengths and with higher loss cables can be significant.
