BaylorPRSer Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hi there, In the Pilot's Manual for the PODHD500x, it reads "Wrap your power supply cable around the “T” shaped cable tree once or twice to prevent an accidental disconnect". What is a "T" shaped cable tree? All the best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 it's that little piece of plastic jutting out from the unit near the power jack the OM should have a diagram I would suggest not using it unless you have animals or kids running around your bedroom.

JohannDaart Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 From what I've seen on used market, power and usb inputs are the things that get broken in HD's more often. So be mindful about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 USB port, not the same as power wire. Damage, not the same as disconnect. If I am on stage, my USB isn't plugged in. But, something might happen to yank my power cord out. - such as a drunk tripping over his own feet. Using the tree will prevent it from being pulled out - the "pull" stops where the tree begins, leaving the part between the tree and the unit (the plugged in part) untouched. This is possible at home with kids and animals running around - and the previously mentioned drunk. But it is less likely to happen if you have a "home setup" where this stuff is not normally in the pathway of the photo ops and tax deductions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaylorPRSer Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 thanks guys. does the attached file look correct? first gig with this thing tomorrow :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohannDaart Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I've pulled a bit more cable, so the break angle at the end of the power cable is not so drastic as in your example. Also I've found USB cable that has this square guard at the end of it, so even if pulled, it doesn't wiggle in the socket too much. I don't think all of this is crucial so much, if you keep your unit in a case like this one. In my country used ones are sometimes up for grabs for cheap.

Let us know how it goes... I'd been idly wondering what that bit of plastic was for, so thanks for the thread :) DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
