Linking Sw8 Units Together - Radial Engineering SW8 MK2 User Manual

LINKING MULTIPLE SW8 SWITCHERS TOGETHER
For larger playback rigs, the SW8 may be confi gured in a master-slave confi guration whereby two link connectors are used to tie multiple
SW8's together. Once connected these jacks relay front panel A/B switching and provide the same remote control capabilities as the
optional JR2 footswitch. For instance, one footswitch connected to the master can control multiple SW8's and in doing so, also sends the
'standby' command to the slave units. This lets you build 16, 24, 32 or even 64 channel playback rigs and have all audio channels switch
from A to B at the same time. To set up a link, make sure the REMOTE LINK mode switch on the top panel is set accordingly (see below).
Connect a standard ¼" TRS cable from the master SW8 JR2 LINK-OUT to the slave's ¼" TRS JR2 LINK-IN connectors. For larger systems,
continue the chain from the fi rst slave to the second and so on.

When combining two SW8 MK2 (second generation) units together, make sure the LINK-MODE switch on the top panel is set to the SW8
MK2 position. When combining your second generation SW8 MK2 with a fi rst generation SW8 MK1, the switch needs to be set to the SW8
MK1 position. This ensures that both units switch in proper sync.
