Description
Rackmount Line-Level Splitter & Isolator
The Radial LX8™ is an eight channel passive line-level splitter designed to send multiple channels to three destinations at once, while providing transformer isolation and eliminating hum and buzz caused by ground loops.
Features
- 8-Channel balanced line level splitter & isolator
- Handles +26dB signals without distortion or noise
- Jensen transformer-equipped for exceptional audio quality
- Eliminates buzz and hum caused by ground loops
The professional touring signal splitter
The Radial LX8 is designed specifically to manage balanced signal splitting in professional audio systems. The single rack space design begins with a 100% passive circuit which means it does not require any power to operate. Inside, each of the eight channels is equipped with a premium Jensen® JT-123-SLPC transformer that is able to handle transients in excess of +26dB at all frequencies right down to 20Hz without audible distortion. This results in an accurate signal transfer with minimal phase shift or distortion. When used in larger systems, you benefit from significantly lower noise, making the LX8 the best choice for any demanding multi-channel audio system.
LX8 Applications
- Using the LX8 to split line levels on stage
- Recording live using high quality preamps delivers the best results. Connect your preamps to the LX8 and split the signal to the recorder and the PA using the isolation to eliminate hum & buzz caused by ground loops.
- Using the LX8 to feed two different audio systems
- Running audio around various environments such as large venues, multi-function rooms or broadcast facilities can often lead to noise polluting the audio system. The LX8 eliminates noise problems due to ground loops.
- Using the LX8 to feed delay towers
- In larger installations, running audio to multiple destinations can cause havoc with noise due to uncertain power conditions. The LX8 isolates the second output to eliminate ground loops, reducing system set-up problems.
Specifications
The Radial LX8 is an 8 channel line level splitter that enables the system designer to split and isolate high output audio signals and distribute them without fear of distortion or artefact. The passive 19″ rack mount design employs ultra-high performance Jensen® transformers to handle signals in excess of +25dB. This makes the LX8 particularly useful when managing high system levels where eliminating noise due to ground loop contamination is required. The compact single RU design features a choice of XLR, D-Sub and Euro-block connectors make the LX8 easy to integrate in all types of systems.
