SUM Tools: The Radial MIX 2:1 Two Channel Audio Combiner & Mixer

Topics: di box, Gear Reviews, radial By: Chris Huff January 7, 2018

This is worth adding to your toolbox. Over the years, I’ve had occasion to need to sum two channels into one. Sometimes it was because I needed to sum stereo signals from a playback device. A rare time or two, I needed a cheater way to get an extra input into a full channel strip – 17 inputs when I only had 16 on the board – Ah the joys of one-off jobs.

The problem with the “cheap” solutions was when the inputs were at different signal levels. It meant I had to find two inputs close to similar levels, when summing non-stereo inputs such as two microphones. If only I had the MIX 2:1 by Radial.

Radial’s done this the right way. Here’s what you get in the MIX 2:1 DI box:

  • Two inputs (XLR or TRS) and one output (XLR),
  • Both with individual ground lifts,
  • Both with trim controls,
  • Both with on/off toggles per channel,
  • One input with a 180-degree phase switch,
  • And a level control bypass.

The release date is within the next month or two with a price running around $130. If you’ve ever been in one of those “I wish I had a ….” moments, this might have been helpful.
