The Radial SW8 auto-switcher gives you peace of mind, allowing you to automatically switch between two 8-channel sources - a real lifesaver for critical live recording or playback applications. If you use backing tracks or sound effects in your productions, a rock-solid system is a necessity. Using the SW8 ensures your redundant system is put online effectively; it's able to detect a machine malfunction and switch to a backup machine seamlessly. Incredibly easy to set up and built tough for the road, the SW8 auto-switcher is a toolbox essential!

Radial SW8 Auto-switcher at a Glance:
  • Automatic switcher
  • Easy to use

Automatic switcher
The Radial SW8 auto-switcher provides redundant backup by automatically switching between two 8-channel sources such as a pair of digital recorders. Designed primarily for live concerts and stage shows where backing tracks are used for orchestration, backing chorals and sound effects, the SW8 can detect a machine malfunction and automatically switch to a second backup machine to ensure a seamless performance.

Easy to use
Using the SW8 is easy! Connect your two sync'd playback systems and record a steady drone on track-1. If the tone disappears, the SW8's front panel red LED will illuminate to let you know trouble is at hand. If you like, have the SW8 trigger an alarm, trip a contact closure or have it automatically switch to your second machine. For larger systems, the SW8 may be expanded by linking machines together using a simple instrument cable. It's also built road tough, with a heavy-duty 14-gauge steel enclosure.

Radial SW8 Auto-switcher Features:
  • Auto-switch between two 8-channel systems
  • Expandable and remote controllable
  • Mic- and line-level operation
  • Transformer-isolated XLR mic outputs
  • Full manual override with foot control
The Radial SW8 Auto-switcher gives your productions added reliability!

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
