RADIAL ENGINEERING SW8 8-channel Auto-switcher
Estimated delivery in Italy between 9 and 13 July
8-channel auto-switcher
The RADIAL ENGINEERING SW8 is an 8-channel auto-switcher that allows you to set up a redundant backup system with automatic switching between two sources, such as two digital recorders, computers, or network systems. Designed especially for live concerts and theatrical performances where backing tracks are used for orchestral sections, vocals, and sound effects, the RADIAL SW8 employs an adjustable gate that detects machine malfunction and switches to a second 'backup' machine, ensuring trouble-free performance. The device simply detects a signal operating at full speed on one track and feeds it into the RADIAL SW8. If the signal drops, the RADIAL SW8 automatically switches to system B and sounds an alarm. Switching can also be done manually via the A~B switch on the front panel, a rear-access latching switch, or by using the optional Radial JR2 footswitch. For larger configurations, multiple RADIAL ENGINEERING SW8s can be linked together to create 16, 24, or 32-track systems.
Housed in a rugged 19” 14-gauge steel rack, the RADIAL SW8 features input connectors with a choice of 25-pin D-sub or ¼" TRS jacks with D-Sub and XLR outputs. The front panel XLR jacks produce a balanced microphone-level DI signal to feed a snake system and are transformer-isolated to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops. The D-Sub connectors on the rear of the panel provide direct balanced line-level connectivity, and the transformer-isolated outputs can be internally re-wired to send the microphone-level signal to the 25-pin D-sub output if required. To further suppress switching noise, a series of internal filters help eliminate DC offset from source devices. A global Mute switch disables the XLR outputs, allowing you to listen to tracks and cue on the fly. A Standby switch keeps the RADIAL SW8 on source A inputs between songs.
