  • Page 4 8ox DESIGN CONCEPT The Radial 8ox is an eight channel, balanced microphone splitter in a compact 1RU package that divides the mic signals three ways; to a direct output; a direct output with ground lift; and an isolated output. A high performance bridging transformer is used on the isolated output to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops.
  • Page 5 Transformer noise. To solve these issues the 8ox uses high performance audio isola- tion transformers to decouple the signal passing through it and eliminate ground loops that cause hum and buzz in audio systems.

  • Page 8 8ox Inputs You can connect mics and direct boxes to the 8ox using the front panel XLR inputs, or the rear panel DB-25 and Euroblocks terminals. Which input you choose to use will depend where the 8ox is located and what you are connecting to it. For instance, individual micro-...
  • Page 9 True to the Music Connecting Two Mixing Consoles This is the most basic 8ox set up and allows the MAIN PA and MONITOR consoles to have ac- cess to the stage microphone signals. The MAIN PA console connects to the DIRECT output and supplies 48V phantom power to the mics and active direct boxes.
  • Page 10 However, an single internal switch is provided to connect the pin-1 cable shields to the chassis without modifying the 8ox. By default, this switch is factory set to open or “lifted” allowing the chassis to “fl oat” ungrounded. Should a specifi c grounding scheme require the cable shields to be bonded to the chassis simply set this switch to closed (pushed in position).
