PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER
The Radial SW8 is an electronic device designed to provide the means to backup other electronic
devices. However, like all electronics, the SW8 itself is not totally immune to malfunction.
Because the SW8 is designed to integrate with other devices to form a complete system, a
critical malfunction may not be obvious until the system is asked to perform. This makes it very
important to test your complete playback system before each performance to ensure your system
is working as expected.
Radial Engineering Ltd. will not be held liable for any consequential or inconsequential costs
or damages associated with the use of the SW8. It is understood that connecting, testing and
operating the SW8, along with the application or misapplication, is the sole responsibility of the
end user. For more details refer to the Radial limited warranty.

OVERVIEW
The Radial SW8 is an eight channel redundant switcher designed primarily for live concerts where backing tracks are used to reinforce
the performance. Should the primary playback machine suffer a failure, the SW8 can switch to a backup machine either automatically,
manually, or by remote control.
The SW8 lets you select between two groups of eight audio inputs and route either group to eight discrete outputs. Input connections are
made with your choice of standard eight channel 25-pin D-Sub connectors or individual ¼TRS phone jacks for easy interface with a variety
of audio playback systems. Choice of outputs include an eight channel balanced line-level 25-pin D-Sub or eight transformer isolated mic-
level XLR outputs. Most system techs employ the D-Sub output to feed their personal payback system for monitoring and use the front
panel XLR outputs to connect to the mic splitter and snake system for the PA.

The SW8 can operate in three modes; manual, remote and auto-switch. Depending on your personal preference, experience and con dence
with your setup, you will likely choose one of these approaches and stick with it. Some techs prefer a hands-on approach where they run
two computers completely separately so that should one fail, the other is autonomous. They will typically start both laptops at the same time
and then manually switch between them if a problem is encountered. Others prefer to automate the process whereby they will lock both
devices together with time code. Should the master playback system fail the SW8 will automatically switch to the backup.
Manual switching is accomplished using the front panel AB select switch. In situations where the SW8 may be remotely stationed, a remote
switch may be connected. This can be done using a simple latching footswitch such as the type used on a guitar amp to change channels
or turn on a reverb, or by using the optional Radial JR2 remote. This dual-function footswitch gives you control over AB select and standby
functions along with LED status indicators. When set to auto-switch mode, the SW8 can detect a machine malfunction and switch to a
backup player to ensure a seamless performance. You merely record a 1kHz tone onto the primary recorder (drone track) and send the
signal into the SW8’s auto-switch gate input on the rear panel. As soon as the drone track disappears, the SW8 diverts the inputs to the
backup system. For larger playback system requirements, several SW8 units may be linked together to create 16, 24 or 32 track systems.
You simply designate the rst SW8 as a master unit and link as many slaves as you like using the JR2 link jacks.
The Radial SW8 has gained international notoriety as is used on stage every day with artists as diverse as U2, Lady Gaga, The Eagles,
Radiohead and Cirque Du Soleil.
