Radial SGI Stereo - transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) pair
Stereo Instrument Line Driver
The SGI Stereo is a line extension of Radial’s high-performance stereo line driver system for guitars. It takes a pair of unbalanced instrument signals and allows you to drive them up to 100 metres (300ft) over a single standard Cat5 Ethernet cable without noise or signal loss.
Features
- Balanced stereo line driver for guitar pedals, pedalboards, or amp modellers
- Send signals up to 100 metres (300ft) without loss or noise
- Premium Jensen transformers for optimal sound quality
- Delivers natural tone to off-stage amplifiers
- Transmits analog audio over a single, economical Cat5 Ethernet cable
The SGI Stereo is an updated two-channel version of Radial’s innovative SGI system. Featuring locking RJ45 Ethernet connectors (compatible with Neutrik etherCON locking connectors), the SGI Stereo allows a single Cat5 Ethernet cable to be used to connect the TX to the RX. This allows guitar players with stereo rigs to connect to dual amplifiers in a remote location, such as an amp room in a studio or when amplifiers are placed remotely on large stages. The system can also be used with a facility’s existing Ethernet infrastructure, which is beneficial for home studios and any applications where rooms are wired with Ethernet cables but no analogue studio tie lines.
The SGI Stereo consists of two boxes: the SGI Stereo TX transmitter and the SGI Stereo RX receiver. To use, simply plug your pedalboard output’s ¼“ cables into the TX Left/Right inputs, the TX to the RX via a single standard Cat5 Ethernet cable, and the Left/Right ¼” outputs of the RX to your amplifiers. The SGI Stereo TX uses a discrete buffered circuit to drive your signals over long distances, while the SGI Stereo RX captures the stereo signal and converts it to the appropriate impedance to feed your amplifier(s), while retaining the original tone.
