The Radial Relay Xo is a 1-in, 2-out balanced audio
switcher designed to route the output of a microphone to two different audio
inputs. This, for instance, enables a vocalist to switch his mic between the
main PA system and the monitors so that he can discreetly communicate with other
band members or the technical staff. This is of particular importance for
artists that employ in-ear monitors. You can also use the Relay Xo to send the
output of a microphone to two channels on the PA. The first channel could be set
'dry' to speak to the audience between sets, while the second channel could be
set 'wet' with reverb and echo to enhance the voice. This enables the vocalist
to control effects and deliver a more professional performance.
The Relay Xo features a balanced XLR input and two balanced XLR outputs.
The audio signal path is completely passive 'pure wire'. There are no
transformers or electronic buffers inside that could introduce distortion or
color the tone. Instead, the Relay Xo employs military-grade gold-contact sealed
relays to do the switching. This makes the Relay Xo equally suitable with mic
and line level signals.
Switching may be done using the side-access pushbutton switch or by remote
control via the XLR and ¼" input jacks using either the Radial JR1-L latching or
JR1-M momentary footswitch. A remote link enables multiple Relay Xo's to be used
in tandem.
The Radial Relay... a powerful switcher that is easy to
use!
