The new ProMS2™ Mic Splitter

The new Radial ProMS2 is a single channel

mic splitter designed for PA, recording and

broadcast applications.

According to Radial’s Production Manager

Steve Hopia: "Radial has been building custom

mic splitters and snakes for over 20 years. More

recently, the Radial OX8 has gained notoriety as

the mic splitter of choice with artists as diverse

as Rush and U2 when recording live

performances. We felt that it was time that we

made a single channel version of the OX8 that

could be used for general PA applications and

installations where high performance is needed

at a more affordable price point. The ProMS2

delivers in spades!"

The Radial ProMS2 is completely passive and 100% discrete to ensure optimal signal flow. The engine inside

is an Eclipse ET-MS10 transformer that is exceptionally linear from 20Hz to 20kHz while exhibiting less than

0.01% distortion at 20Hz. The Eclipse transformer is equipped with a mu-metal can that shields the sensitive

circuit from outside electro-magnetic fields to ensure the signal is delivered without artifact.

Features include microphone input with -30dB pad to enable extra high level sources to be used without fear

of saturating the transformer. There are three outputs: The first is a direct-coupled output that is normally

connected to the main FOH PA system mixer and provides a return path for 48V phantom power should a

condenser mic or active DI box be in use. The second is a transformer isolated output that is particularly adept

at eliminating the hum and buzz caused by ground loops. The third is a direct output with a ground lift switch.

This auxiliary output can be used to feed the stage monitors, recording system or remote broadcast truck.

The SW8 is designed to switch

8 audio channels simultaneously.

Backing tracks are recorded on

two separate systems and each

is sent to the SW8 where the user

may manually select between the

playback systems or have the

SW8 automatically switch

between them when a drop-out

occurs via an internal gate. Inputs

include a choice of 1/4" TRS or 25

pin D-subs. The outputs can be

via a series of transformer isolated XLR outputs to run through a snake system or a D-Sub.

According to Radial's President Peter Janis: "Over the past several years, the Radial SW8 has gained tremen-

dous market penetration with major tours such as The Eagles, Rush, Rihanna, Maroon 5 and Cirque Du Soleil all

using it. During this time we have had many discussions with the technicians who use the SW8 on a daily basis.

This input has driven us to develop a next-generation switcher that will elevate the performance in several key

areas such as managing standby status more effectively, muting the main audio outputs to enable on-the-fly editing

and providing remote controllability with LED status indicators."

New features include: A 'standby' function that enables the technician to stop the show in between songs when

the artist chooses to speak to the audience. A global mute turns off the front panel XLR outputs allowing the tech

to monitor playback tracks and prepare playback cue points. Two signal status LEDs have been added for both A

and B playback systems providing visual indicators to show signal present. External remote control options now

include either a footswitch or desktop options with LED status indicators. To help eliminate switching noise with less

than ideal sources, a series of DC blocking filters have been added on all channels. Gate level controls have also

been relocated to the front panel for easier manipulation.

“For the live part of this new release, all the

shows we did overseas and even here for our

album launch show, Pierre and I put all our

trust in Radial's Plexitube Tonebone pedal.”

“We have this pretty cool setup where

everyone has an in-ear monitoring system so

we can travel light without any band

back-line. We tried to find a way to have the

best guitar tone without playing with a big

high gain tube stack. The answer is the

Tonebone Plexitube. It's the only thing we

tried out that delivered the same qualities of a

high gain tube amp cranked up in a tiny metal

box. It's just amazing. No more huge stack of

amps to carry around on every stage we step

foot on. And trust me, we are very picky about

guitar tone and the Plexitube delivers.”

“Performing is something that connects me

to the listener at a different level. It is pure

satisfaction. I have to perform to be myself. I

just love the PZ-Pre to play live. It is part of

my sound and it improved my tone since I

started to use it. Compact, convenient, it is

easy to use and it gives me all the different

sound nuances I want.”
