RADIAL SW8 SWITCHERA 8 CHANNELS

Automatic switch

The Radial SW8™ is an 8-channel auto switcher that allows you to set up a redundant backup system by automatically switching between two multi-channel playback systems.

• Switching between redundant playback systems
• Seamless manual or automatic switching
• Line-level or transformer-isolated microphone-level outputs
• Can be linked for larger playback systems
• Under the hood
  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 for a perfect performance. The SW8 will monitor any continuous audio signal, such as SMPTE, on the main playback system and, if the signal drops, automatically switch to the backup. Switching can also be performed manually on the front panel or using a footswitch like the Radial JR2. For larger systems with more than 8 channels, multiple SW8s can be connected.
