Radial SW8 MK2


The Radial SW8 MK2 is a professional 8-channel auto-switcher designed to eliminate dead air and technical glitches in live shows reliant on backing tracks. It operates as a failsafe, seamlessly and silently switching from a primary playback rig to a synchronized backup machine the moment a signal drops.


Core Functionality Redundant Switching: Connects two distinct multi-channel playback systems (like laptops or interfaces) simultaneously. Adjustable Gate: Monitors a continuous pilot tone (such as SMPTE timecode) or the main audio signal. If the signal drops below the threshold, it triggers an instant switch to the backup.


No Seamless Transition: Designed to operate without interrupting the live performance or introducing audible clicks/pops. Key


Specifications

Channels: 8 independent channels (can be linked together for 16+ channel setups).


Connectivity: Features 1/4" TRS, DB-25 inputs, and transformer-isolated XLR outputs.


Operation Modes: Can switch automatically, manually on the front panel, or remotely using a footswitch (like the Radial JR2).


Output Flexibility: Offers line-level outputs for feeding local mixers alongside transformer-isolated mic-level outputs for sending signals directly to the front-of-house (FOH) snake.
