Split 8 Line-level Signals 3 Ways, Without Noise

If so, then the Radial LX8 is for you. This 8-channel, 3-way splitter keeps your audio clean, clear, and free from ground loops from destination to destination.

What can the Radial LX8 do?
Split outboard preamps to a console & recorder — The Radial LX8 takes signal from eight outboard preamps and delivers the exact same signal, with no risk of degradation or ground loops, to a recorder and live console simultaneously. This is an elegant solution for live sets you want to keep for the record books. Phoenix connectors make Pro Tools integration a cinch.
Eliminate ground loops from larger installations — Live engineers have less to sweat about with the LX8 on deck. Now you can source audio from your console to different zones with no risk of ground loops, thanks to a transformer-isolated second output.
Eliminate noise from room to room — Houses of worship will love the LX8 to feed audio from the soundboard into multiple rooms, with zero potential for noise and hum to degrade source audio.
