Softube Console 1 Mk II with UAD Powered
Plug-Ins Support
Softube has released the Console 1 Mk II, which is a more affordable version of its hardware/
software mixing system that features support for select UAD Powered Plug-ins from Universal
Audio.
Originally released in 2014, Softube Console 1 featured tightly integrated hardware and
software, and the included emulation of a Solid State Logic SL 4000 E console. The Console 1
Mk II features a significant software update with support for 60 UAD plug-ins, all pre-mapped
and easily selectable so no MIDI mapping is necessary. The hardware has also been updated
with some minor layout changes, such as more visible LED markers.

Radial LX-2 Passive
Line Splitter
Radial Engineering is now shipping the LX-2
passive line splitter. The LX-2 is designed to
allow the user to easily send a single source
to two different destinations at once without
noise and with the ability to attenuate the
input signal and tame hot outputs from a
mixing console or mic preamp.
The input of the LX-2 features an XLR/
TRS combo jack, which allows the user to
connect balanced or unbalanced line level
signals to be split to two different destina-
tions. A Jensen transformer inside provides
quality frequency response and phase
coherency while isolating the two outputs
from each other to eliminate hum and buzz
from ground loops. Ground lift switches on
each of the two XLR outputs further reduce
ground loop noise. For situations where a
level adjustment is required, the trim control
on the LX-2 can be used to attenuate overly
hot signals. This lets users drive their mic
preamps hard to achieve colouration, while
trimming the level at the LX-2 to avoid clip-
ping the inputs of the recording interface.
