The Radial Engineering Relay Xo Balanced Remote AB Switcher is a balanced audio switcher with one XLR input and two XLR outputs designed to route the output of a microphone to two different audio inputs. This enables a vocalist to switch his mic between the main PA system and the monitors for discreet communication, especially important for artists that employ in-ear monitors. You can also use the Relay Xo to send the output of a microphone to two channels on the PA. The first channel could be set dry to speak to the audience between sets, while the second channel could be set wet with reverb and echo to enhance the voice. This enables the vocalist to control effects and deliver a more professional performance.
The Relay Xo features a balanced XLR input and two balanced XLR outputs. The audio signal path is a passive wire with no transformers or electronic buffers inside that could introduce distortion or color the tone. The unit employs military-grade, gold-contact sealed relays to do the switching, making it suitable for both mic- and line-level signals. Switching may be done using the side-access pushbutton switch or by remote control via the XLR-1/4 combo jack, using either the Radial JR1-L latching or JR1-M momentary footswitch (not included). A remote link enables multiple units to be used in tandem.

Balanced XLR input
Signal path is a passive copper wire that ensures audio signals pass-through without any change or added noise or distortion
Output select switch toggles the Relay Xo s outputs
Two LED indicators display which output is active
Ground lift disconnects pin-1 (ground) on the input XLR jack to help reduce hum and buzz caused by ground loops
Features heavy-duty, glass-filled XLRs with nickel-silver contacts
Military-grade relays are used to switch the audio signal and provide a straight wire signal path
Discrete full-size, hand inserted parts ensure the audio signal flows without impediment from input to output without distortion or artifact
Double-sided military spec for greater durability and full ground plane to reduce radio-frequency interference
Book-end design creates a protective zone around the jacks and switches
Switches feature metal outer casing are rated at over 20000 cycles for durability
Features a cable clamp to prevent accidental power disconnection by locking down the AC adapter cable
