Radial Engineering Ltd. is pleased to announce the availability of the stand-alone Workhorse WR8 500 series rack and optional WM8 8 channel summing mixer.
The Radial Workhorse WR8 is an 8-slot 500 series mixer that is 100% compatible with all standard 500 series modules. Individual XLR inputs and outputs are complimented with parallel 1/4” TRS connectors and Pro-Tools compatible 25 pin D-Subs.
This enables any of the 8 module slots to be easily integrated within the framework of today’s popular digital workstation environment. A special feed function also enables modules to be connected in series without having to hard patch using a cable. Should the user wish to add the optional Workhorse 8 channel mixer section, a step-by-step mixer installation slide show can be found on our website by clicking on the WR8 rack photo.
According to Radial sales manager Steve McKay Radial began shipping the Workhorse into the North American market and then expand into Europe.
“After shipping hundrers, we are pleased to say the that Workhorse launch has been tremendously successful,” adds McKay. “The time has come to make the Workhorse available in a rack-only format for those who may not require the built-in 8 channel mixer. This not only brings the cost down of the Workhorse rack, but also enables the user to add the mixer at a later date, should the need arise.”
Both the Workhorse WR-8 rack and the WM-8 mixer retail for $799 USD and are now available through authorized vendors.
