Radial Engineering is releasing a trio of new products on January 19 focused on signal routing, pedalboard integration, and creative audio processing. These additions include the SGI Stereo line driver system, the TrainTrack and TrainTrack Plus pedalboard brackets, and the updated Voco-Loco MK2 microphone effects loop switcher.
The SGI Stereo builds on the original SGI system, now offering stereo capability for guitarists, keyboardists, and engineers who need to transmit dual-channel unbalanced signals over long distances. Using a single Cat5 cable, the SGI Stereo sends stereo instrument signals up to 300 feet without introducing noise or signal loss. It includes a TX (transmitter) and RX (receiver), with Jensen transformers for clean, balanced audio and locking etherCON RJ45 connectors for secure cabling. The RX unit also features left and right thruputs for monitoring through local amps, and a polarity reverse switch to help maintain phase consistency. Power options range from 9V to 18V, and a 15V power supply is included. The SGI Stereo TX and SGI Stereo RX are also available separately, giving users the option to expand or replace parts of their setup without purchasing the full kit.
The TrainTrack and TrainTrack Plus brackets offer a secure mounting solution for Radial gear beneath pedalboards. The standard TrainTrack fits smaller enclosures such as the ProDI and Highline, while the Plus version is made for larger models like the JDI, J48, and Highline Stereo. Both brackets are designed for use with Pedaltrain pedalboards (Classic JR and larger), and also work with select modular boards. Installation hardware is included, and the bracket design keeps Radial devices stable and accessible without adding clutter to the top of the pedalboard.
The Voco-Loco MK2 has been updated with practical refinements for improved reliability and sound quality. Designed for routing microphone signals through guitar pedals, the MK2 version includes a locking XLR mic input, a 9V power supply, and an optimized signal path. It features a studio-quality mic preamp with EQ controls, individual send and return level adjustments for the effects loop, and a mix knob to balance dry and processed signals. It also supports phantom power for condenser mics and includes footswitches for loop bypass or full wet signal output. This setup provides vocalists, horn players, and other performers with expanded creative control using standard effects pedals.
