Radial KL-8 4-Input Rackmount Keyboard Mixer - Your Ultimate Keyboard Control Solution
Take Control of Your Keyboard SetupThe KL-8 is a rackmount keyboard mixing station that gives you complete control over your professional keyboard setup, whether you're on stage or in the recording studio.
Powerful Mixing for Keyboard ProsDesigned with keyboard professionals in mind, the KL-8 offers a range of features to streamline and enhance your keyboard setup. Connect up to four keyboards in mono or stereo, with level controls, aux sends, and LED indicators for each. Use the stereo aux send/receive to feed rackmount reverbs, delays, and effects pedals, or use it as an additional input for a fifth keyboard. MIDI and USB connections make it easy to control your laptop soft-synth, and high-quality 24bit/192kHz digital audio converters ensure great sound.
Redundant USB Inputs for Peace of MindDon't let laptop failure disrupt your performance. The KL-8 allows you to set up redundant laptop systems and switch seamlessly between them. A secondary USB input lets you keep your backup laptop ready, and you can switch to it instantly with the USB select switch on the front panel or the optional JR-1L remote footswitch.
Silent Cueing and Monitoring via HeadphonesPractice and record silently, or cue up individual inputs on stage without disturbing the audience. The built-in headphone amp and dual 1/4' TRS outputs give you this option. Each input channel has a Cue switch that mutes it from the main and monitor outputs and routes it directly to the headphones, so you can adjust patch settings and test playback over USB without affecting the performance.
