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.
Use the antenna distribution system with XD-V75, XD-V55, and XD-V70 digital wireless microphone
systems, and the Relay G90 and Relay G55 digital wireless guitar system.

•Optimized for use with Line 6 wireless systems operating in the 2.4 GHz band.

•Uses one pair of external antennas to feed up to eight receivers (V70/75 Receivers can make

additional use of built in daisy chain capability supporting up to 14 receivers from a single
AD8).

•Using the supplied cables, up to eight receivers can be powered from the antenna distribution
system, eliminating the need for their external power supplies.

•Use either front- or rear-panel antenna connections, with selector switch.

•The antenna distribution system provides the necessary current to power the electronics in

the P180 and P360 remote antennas.

•For use with Line 6 directional or omnidirectional remote paddle antennas or other equivalent

2.4 GHz antennas.

•Rack-mountable, 1 RU chassis.
