Radial Engineering SW8 Auto Switcher (8x8 Channel)

The Radial SW8 is an 8 channel auto-switcher that allows you to set up a redundant backup system by automatically switching between two sources such as a pair of digital recorders, computers or network systems. Designed primarily for live concerts and stage shows where backing tracks are used for orchestration, vocals and sound effects, the SW8 employs an adjustable gate to detect a machine malfunction and automatically switch to a second backup machine to deliver a seamless performance. Switching can also be manually performed using a remote latching switch or via the front panel A~B switch. For larger systems, the SW8 is easily linked using a standard ¼ guitar type cable. This enables the unit to expand to 16, 24 or 32 channels with all systems switching simultaneously.

Features:

• Switch between two playback systems automatically
• Expandable 'link' with remote control contact closure
• Balanced or unbalanced mic and line level operation
• Transformer isolated DI output on each channel
