Radial LX2 Passive Line-Level Splitter and Attenuator

Split & attenuate audio with ease

The LX-2 performs the dual functions of splitting a line level audio signal and providing level attenuation where necessary. A premium Jensen transformer inside provides exceptional frequency response and phase coherency to ensure that the highest audio quality is maintained, while isolating the two outputs from each other to eliminate hum and buzz from ground loops. For situations where a level adjustment is required, the trim control on the LX-2 allows you to attenuate overly hot signals. This gives you the ability to drive your mic preamps hard to achieve coloration, while trimming the level at the LX-2 to avoid clipping the inputs of your recording interface. This trim control is activated by a recessed ‘set & forget’ switch; if attenuation is not needed, simply disengage this switch to prevent accidental and unwanted level adjustments.

LX-2 Applications

Splitting line outputs on stage

Send the output of a mic pre or line level device to a recording interface as well as the PA system

Split the output of a mic preamp in the studio

Send the output of a single preamp to two compressors simultaneously. Use the level trim to push your preamp harder for coloration without distorting the compressor inputs.

Using the LX-2 for parallel effects processing

Split the output of a preamp to feed an outboard effects device while also sending a clean signal to your recording interface. Blend the signals together in your DAW for parallel processing.
