The Radial LX8 Line Splitter is a professional-grade solution for distributing line-level signals to multiple destinations without noise, signal loss, or ground-loop issues.
Designed for touring, broadcast, studio, and installed sound applications, the LX8 allows you to split up to eight balanced line signals cleanly and reliably — making it ideal for feeding multiple consoles, recording rigs, broadcast trucks, monitor systems, or backup paths from a single source. Built with Radial’s renowned attention to signal integrity and rugged construction, the LX8 delivers consistent, transparent performance in mission-critical environments. Each channel features one direct output and one transformer-isolated output, ensuring pristine audio while eliminating hum and buzz caused by grounding conflicts. The transformer isolation preserves the full character of the source while maintaining excellent phase coherence and headroom. Housed in a heavy-duty steel rackmount chassis, the LX8 is engineered to withstand the demands of life on the road while remaining equally at home in permanent installations where reliability is non-negotiable.

Radial LX8 Line Splitter Applications
- Using the LX8 to split line levels on stage - Recording live using high quality preamps delivers the best results. Connect your preamps to the LX8 and split the signal to the recorder and the PA using the isolation to eliminate hum & buzz caused by ground loops.
- Using the LX8 to feed delay towers - In larger installations, running audio to multiple destinations can cause havoc with noise due to uncertain power conditions. The LX8 isolates the second output to eliminate ground loops, reducing system set-up problems.
- Using the LX8 to feed two different audio systems - Running audio around various environments such as large venues, multi-function rooms or broadcast facilities can often lead to noise polluting the audio system. The LX8 eliminates noise problems due to ground loops.
