Radial SW8 Signal-Splitter

The Radial SW8 Expandable Remote Auto-Switcher provides redundant backup by automatically switching between two 8-channel sources such as a pair of digital recorders.

The Radial Radial SW8 Auto Switcher has been designed primarily for live concerts and stage shows where backing tracks are used for orchestration, backing chorals and sound effects, the SW8 can detect a machine malfunction and automatically switch to a second backup machine to ensure a seamless performance.

Using the SW8 is easy! Connect your two sync’d playback systems and record a steady drone on track-1. If the tone disappears, the SW8’s front panel red LED will illuminate to let you know trouble is at hand. If you like, have the SW8 trigger an alarm, trip a contact closure or have it automatically switch to your second machine. For larger systems, the SW8 may be expanded by linking machines together using a simple 1/4” instrument cable.

Housed in a heavy duty 14-gauge steel 19” enclosure, the Radial SW8 is equipped with choice of ¼” TRS or 25 pin D-Sub inputs and XLR or D-Sub outputs to handle just about any audio challenge, wardrobe malfunction or backing tape failure.
