Radial ProMS2 Passive Microphone Splitter

Radial-Proms2The Radial ProMS2 is a high performance mic splitter that accepts a balanced microphone signal and sends it to three outputs simultaneously.  As a passive device, there is no need for power–merely plug in and the ProMS2 automatically springs to life,delivering pristine audio without artifact or color.

With Radial’s high performance Eclipse transformer for optimal signal transfer; direct, isolated, and auxiliary outputs; and Radial’s typical rugged 14-gauge steel construction (for added durability and shielding); the ProMS2 provides the sonic quality and reliability you’ve come to expect from Radial Engineering.

TouchMix-16Shipping this summer, QSC recently introduced their new TouchMix compact digital mixers.

The TouchMix mixers are designed for musicians, production professionals, and live performance venues that need the power and capability of a large “concert” mixing console in a compact, affordable, and easy to use form.
