Redundant Audio Switcher for Backing Tracks or Guitar Rigs

Based on the 8-channel Radial SW8 but tailored to meet the needs of smaller acts and solo artists, the 2-channel Radial Engineering BackTrack manual audio switcher is equipped to receive two feeds of stereo audio and keep the music going even in the event of a failure. Whether you're feeding it redundant backing tracks from two laptops/mobile devices or signals from two identical guitar amps, the Radial BackTrack won't let you down. You can switch feeds directly from a switch on the back of the unit, or seamlessly underfoot via the optional Radial JR-2 Remote footswitch. Isolated balanced XLRs feed a mixer or pair of powered mains, and Dual 1/4" TRS monitor outputs assist with monitoring through stage wedges. The Radial BackTrack also features a front 1/4" headphone output, so you can silently monitor each inactive source to verify sync. What's more, the BackTrack can be slaved to the SW8 via its Link Out for two extra channels of stereo audio. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to learn more about how you can put the Radial Engineering BackTrack to work for you and your group.

Radial Engineering BackTrack Stereo Audio Switcher Features:

  • Manually cycles between two feeds of redundant audio
  • Ideal for backing tracks and guitar rigs
  • Keeps the music rolling, even in the event of a failure
  • Dual 3.5mm stereo inputs for laptops and mobile devices
  • Twin pairs of 1/4" TRS inputs for guitar and keyboard rigs
  • Switches: push button, optional JR-2 Remote (not included)
  • Isolated balanced XLR outputs feed a mixer or pair of mains
  • 1/4" TRS monitor outputs let you monitor audio through stage wedges
  • Headphone output lets you monitor the inactive audio track for testing and sync
  • Adds two channels of stereo audio to the Radial SW8 Auto Switcher
  • Proudly made in Canada
