Radial Engineering OX8-j 8 Channel Mic Splitter

Eight Channel Microphone Splitter for Touring and Installed Sound Systems

The Radial Engineering OX8-J is an eight-channel microphone splitter designed to provide clean, three-way mic-level signal distribution for professional touring rigs, live sound reinforcement, broadcast systems, and permanent installations. Each input channel delivers a direct output and two transformer-isolated outputs, allowing you to send the same microphone signal to front-of-house, monitor consoles, in-ear monitor systems, and recording devices simultaneously without signal degradation.

Three-Way Mic Splitting with Transformer Isolation

Each of the eight microphone inputs feeds a direct out plus two isolated outputs, one of which includes a ground lift option. The transformer isolation prevents ground loops, reduces hum and buzz, and maintains signal integrity across complex audio systems. This makes the OX8-J ideal for large venues, houses of worship, broadcast facilities, and touring productions where multiple consoles and recording feeds are required.

Jensen Transformers for Low Noise and Accurate Audio

This model is equipped with Jensen transformers, known for their transparency, extended frequency response, and low distortion characteristics. These premium transformers ensure that the original microphone signal remains intact, with minimal phase shift and an exceptionally low noise floor. Whether handling vocals, drums, orchestral instruments, or conference microphones, the OX8-J preserves clarity and detail.

36 dB Pad for Line and High Output Sources

Each channel includes a 36 dB pad switch, allowing the splitter to accommodate both microphone-level and line-level signals. This added flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including active DI outputs, high-output condenser microphones, and playback sources. Engineers can integrate the OX8-J into diverse audio systems without worrying about overload.

Professional Connectivity with D-Sub and Euroblock Outputs

The OX8-J uses Tascam-standard D-Sub connectors along with Euroblock outputs for streamlined cable management and clean rack wiring. These connection formats are ideal for installed sound systems and touring racks where organization and reliability are critical. The unit mounts into a standard 19-inch rack and operates passively, requiring no external power supply.

Built for Touring and Permanent Installation

Engineered for durability and long-term reliability, the OX8-J is designed to withstand the demands of live production environments. Its rackmount format integrates easily into FOH racks, monitor world systems, broadcast trucks, and fixed audio installations. With passive operation and high-quality internal components, it delivers dependable performance show after show.
