RADIAL 8cx INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Radial 8cx microphone splitter. The Radial 8cx is an easy to use eight channel splitter in a
contractor friendly install package. Like it's rackmount cousin, the 8cx divides the mic signals three ways; to a direct output; a direct
output with ground lift; and an isolated output. A high performance audio isolation transformer is used to eliminate hum and buzz
caused by ground loops.
8cx DESIGN CONCEPT
The 8cx allows sound contractors to quickly build and install a custom mic splitter with excellent sonic performance. The 8cx is ideally
suited for permanent install where it can be incorporated into the electrical conduit installed by the electrical trades.
Typically, 8cx splitters are mounted in an electrical box located in a utility room or under the stage. The 8cx is designed to fi t in standard
size NEMA electrical junction boxes. Six 8cx splitters can easily fi t into a 24" x 24" enclosure for a 48 channel system.
The 8cx connects to XLR interface panels located around the theater through the electrical conduit. For example, microphones may
connect to stage-left and stage-right XLR input panels, another on-stage panel may be used to interface the monitor console while a
panel in the house seating connects the main PA console.
