Press Box & Signal Splitter

The Radial mPress is a modular & expandable press box that is designed for distributing audio to multiple destinations simultaneously, with two on-board microphone preamps and additional controls capable of eliminating the need for a separate mixer when feeding both a press gallery and a PA.

Audio distribution & control for small or large events

The Radial mPress is providing the full control over any size of press gathering, from community gatherings to international events, and its modular design means that it can grow to fill up your needs. The Radial mPress comes with two balanced mic or line inputs with low-noise preamps and high-pass filters, along with a shared limiter for avoiding the clipping of the inputs of any connected recording devices. Also provided are the separate outputs for a set of powered speakers, with dedicated program inputs allowing the user to play background music using the PA when on standby, and a headphone output to silently monitor and cue up playback tracks. The main outputs are controlled separately from the press gallery signals, so that the user can make the needed adjustments on the fly without affecting previously calibrated recording devices.

Expand output channels with the Exo-Pod

For events where more than eight press outputs are required, the mPress can be used in conjunction with a number of Exo-Pod portable splitters to quickly increase the available channel count. The mPress modular approach replaces the mess of cables that hampers typical press box setups, and instead creates an orderly system that enables you to create zones for various groups within the venue. From each of the mPress XLR outputs as many as four Exo-Pods may be chained together, for a total of 320 microphone or line level outputs and 128 recorder outputs. A built-in 1kHz test tone provides everyone with a reference level and a headphone amplifier on the front of the mPress helps when troubleshooting.
