Description
Front-of-house engineers know the pain of running out of inputs mid-show. The Radial MIX 2:1 solves that problem without adding a single active component to your signal path. It’s a purely passive combiner that takes two balanced sources — mic or line level — and folds them down to one mono output, freeing up console real estate when you’re patched to the limit.
- Sums two channels into a single mono XLR output
- Balanced 1/4″ TRS and XLR inputs on both channels
- Per-channel trim controls, with a bypass for unity-gain summing
- Ground lift switches on each input to kill hum and buzz
- Fully passive design — zero power required, zero added noise floor
On a live rig, that means you can take a stereo aux send or a stereo playback device and drop it into one console channel instead of two. Miking a guitar cab with two capsules? Sum them ahead of the preamp and dial in the blend with the individual trims. Working a source with two mic preamps that need to land on a single track? The MIX 2:1 handles that too, and each input can be trimmed independently so levels match before they hit the shared output.
The ground lift switches matter more than they might seem to — on stages with mixed power runs and long cable snakes, ground loops are a constant risk, and having lift options at both inputs gives you a fast fix without needing a separate DI or isolator in the chain. Because there’s no power supply, no batteries, and no phantom power dependency involved, the MIX 2:1 slots into a rider or a rack case as a permanent problem-solver rather than another point of failure. It’s a small box that quietly buys you channel count and flexibility exactly when you need it most.
