The Radial LX8™ is a 19” single space rackmount 8 channel line-level splitter that has been

designed to provide a compact and efcient method of taking 8 line-level channels and splitting

the signals to two destinations. Each channel is equipped with a premium Jensen audio bridg­ing transformers for the best possible sound quality while eliminating hum and buzz caused by
ground loops.

Connectivity includes front panel XLR input connectors which are wired in parallel with rear
panel DB25 D-subs and screw type Euro-blocks (Phoenix). There are three sets of outputs: a
direct out for the main mixer; a direct out with front panel ground lift; and a transformer isolated
out for recording.

Plug and play easy to use, the Radial LX8 is 100% passive and therefore requires no power

to make it work. This makes the LX8 ideal for eld recording systems and in permanent venue

installations where line level signals may have to feed various consoles or recording systems
and noise is not acceptable.

WELDED 14 GAUGE STEEL
construction is tough to handle
the abuse on the road.

ISO OUT DB-25 and Euro-block
outputs are 100% isolated to
prevent hum from ground loops.

INPUT XLRs are made from

rugged glass-lled nylon and

isolated from the chassis.

DIRECT OUT W/ LIFT DB-25 and
Euro-block pass the direct signal.
Ground may be lifted at front panel.

ID LABELS for wax pencil
makes setups easy. A great
help when troubleshooting!

DB-25 PIN-OUT is silk
screened on the panel
for easy termination.

MU-METAL shield protects
transformer core from elec­tromagnetic interference.

LIFT switch disconnects pin 1 at the
AUX and ISO outputs to eliminate
noise caused by ground loops.

DIRECT OUT DB-25 and
Euro-block pass the direct
signal and phantom power.

JENSEN high-quality trans­formers are standard.

COMPACT 1RU
rackmount with six
inch rack depth.

PARALLEL INPUTS on
DB-25 and Euro-block in
addition to front panel XLRs.

DB-25 connectors make interfacing multi­track recorders easy. Euro-blocks reduce
install time for installations.
