M-Live GO8 Automatic Audio and Midi Switcher for M-Live Playback Systems

AUTOMATIC SWITCHER FOR REDUNDANT BACKUP MANAGEMENT

The GO8 is an automatic switcher designed to ensure operational continuity during live concerts and theatrical performances. Ideal for managing redundant backups, it allows the automatic switching of 8 audio channels, one MIDI line, and one video line between two main sources such as computers with sequencers, B-Beat devices, or other audio and video sources. Using a SYNCH signal-based detection system, the GO8 instantly switches to the backup source in case of failure, ensuring uninterrupted performance. Manual switching is also possible via the SELECT button on the front panel. For more advanced configurations, the device can be daisy-chained with additional units to create systems with a higher number of tracks.

Durable and reliable, the GO8 is housed in a 19" steel rack and features versatile audio connectors (D-Sub, TRS, and XLR) for optimal connectivity. Additionally, it supports SMPTE timecode reading and includes redundant power supplies to prevent interruptions due to power failures. This device offers a professional and versatile solution to guarantee continuity and reliability in live performances.
