Sound Processing System

Splitter 8-channel audio signal for those using live pre-recorded on two separate tracks systems. Both records are sent simultaneously to SW8 and the user can switch manually or automatically in case of failure of the primary system. Standby version that will stop playing songs during the show if the singer wants to go public, for example, a mute aggregate for all outputs and two status LEDs for reading systems A and B and filters were added to each of the channels in order to reduce noise during switching and controls the level of the gate were returned to the front.

  • Radial Engineering SW8
  • Audio Auto-switcher 8
  • channels Ability to 'mutate' manually key outputs for easy control on the fly and visual comfort greatly improved (LED addition).
  • The 'stand-by' allows queuing system, convenient for managing the interventions of artists between songs.
  • 'Global mute' all output cut, leaving the opportunity to 'monitor' the playbacks or prepare entry points.
  • 2 signal status LEDs for tracks A and B
  • Options 'footswitch' or 'desktop' with their dedicated LED indicators.
  • On 2ch, a series of filters added to help minimize induced noise and interference of switching for all types of sources.

The self-switcher Radial SW8 provides redundant backup by automatic switching between two 8-channel sources as a pair of digital recorders, or a playback system, for example.
Designed primarily for concerts and shows where the tracks are used for orchestrations, sound effects bands, the SW8 can detect a malfunction and automatically switches to a second machine of "backup" for optimum performance without fault.
Using the SW8 is easy! Connect your two systems synchronized playback and record a sinusoid on channel 1. If the tone disappears, the front of you warned by SW8 uneLED red a problem has occurred. If desired, the SW8 triggers an alarm, cut the signal or automatically switch to your second machine. For larger systems, leSW8 can cascade by combining several machines together with the help of a simple instrument cable.
