Achieve full command over your keyboard rig with the Radial KL-8. This rackmount mixing station includes four stereo analog inputs for your keyboards, along with MIDI and USB connections for your laptop soft synths.

Practice and record silently, thanks to a built-in headphone amp and dual headphone outputs. Beyond that, each input channel features a cue switch, which makes silent patch adjustment and playback testing a breeze.

Why Buy Live Sound at Sweetwater?


Redundant USB ports ? a rock-solid insurance policy





When you’re in the midst of a make-it-or-break-it performance, equipment failure isn’t an option. Radial knows this ? that’s why the KL-8 is equipped with redundant USB ports. The secondary port allows you to keep a backup laptop ready. In the event of disaster, simply hit the USB select switch, and you’re good to go ? crisis averted.





Built-in headphone amplifier and dual headphone outputs





One of our favorite features of the Radial KL-8 here at Sweetwater is its dual headphone outputs, which are powered by a high-quality built-in headphone amplifier. Use them to practice and record silently or cue up individual inputs onstage without feeding the signal out to your audience. Each of the KL-8’s inputs features a cue switch that routes its signal to your headphones for silent patch adjustment and playback testing over USB ? all without affecting your performance.
