"Its unique interconnecting system -
a smart feature required for the professional touring guitarist."

StageWire is a technology which was developed by Prostage especially for use on stage. StageWire is a connection that enables several devices to communicate with each other via a standard microphone cable. StageWire is 4 x faster than MIDI. Using only 1 microphone cable from device to device, they can communicate with each other in both directions (bi-directional). Furthermore, the Foot Controllers are powered over the microphone cable. StageWire is used in all PurpleLine devices. The advantages of the XLR connection are strikingly obvious:

Prostage's first development was the use of a standard microphone cable for the transmission of the MIDI signal as well as power supply to the foot controller. In order to connect a Prostage Foot Controller to your MIDI equipment, you need a XTM (XLR to MIDI) adaptor (exceptions see below). If you use more than one Foot Controller, only one XTM is needed. The adaptor also supplies the Foot Controller(s) with power.

There are devices that are already equipped with the XLR connector for Prostage BlackLine Foot Controllers. Therefore, no XTM | XTMpro adaptor is required to connect a BlackLine Foot Controller to one of the following units:

		Prostage XDS / XLS Loop & Switch Systems.
		Diezel Herbert.
		Diezel VH4(S) (a special retrofit kit is required).
