Complete Backing Track Solution
If you need to use a backing track on stage and want to avoid audio issues and dropouts, Radial Engineering's SW8-USB is the audio device of choice. An 8ch switcher and USB interface for live use.
SW8-USB has his two USB ports for two different computers. Backing tracks from the primary device can be synchronized with redundant backing tracks from the secondary device. If something goes wrong, your device can automatically switch from one computer to another. Switching can be done manually via the front panel of the device or using a footswitch (sold separately).
SW8-USB provides multiple analog outputs via 8 XLR sockets, 8 1/4" connectors and 1 DB25 connector. Use these to feed and monitor mixes in your house. The 1/4" jack and DB25 connector are wired in parallel to feed multiple destinations.
The SWB-USB digital path can run up to 24 bits and 192 kHz. It comes with redundant auto-switching power supplies so it never goes down.
