8X7 Amp Cabinet Switcher

Control up to 8 amplifiers, 7 speaker cabinets, one power attenuator and your FX-Loops from a single switching system.
Designed for professional guitarists, recording studios, music stores and touring rigs, the N-audio 8X7 delivers professional amp switching with a relay-only signal path, advanced amplifier protection, a switchable power attenuator insert and MIDI control. Supporting tube, solid-state and bridged amplifiers, it lets you compare amplifiers instantly while keeping your equipment protected and your tone untouched.

Why Musicians Choose the 8X7

Stop reconnecting speaker cables every time you want to A/B compare amplifiers. The N-audio 8X7 was designed to make amp switching fast, safe and reliable. Whether you're recording in the studio, demonstrating equipment in a guitar shop or running multiple amplifiers on stage, every connection happens instantly with a single button or MIDI command.

The 8X7 continuously protects connected amplifiers using dedicated hardware safety loads, intelligent relay logic and cabinet detection, allowing safe and seamless switching between amplifiers and speaker cabinets.

Integrated FX-Loop Control

The optional FX-Loop Extension automatically routes the modulation and time-based effects connected to the send-return loop of the active amplifier.

Instead of reconnecting your delay, reverb, chorus or other effects every time you switch amps, the FX-Loop Extension automatically follows the selected amplifier. The extension is powered directly from the MIDI output of the 8X7, requiring no additional power supply.

Built for Modern and Vintage Guitar Rigs

The 8X7 supports guitar and bass amplifiers, including tube amplifiers, solid-state amplifiers, bridged (floating ground) amplifiers and guitar combos. It is also compatible with virtually any active or passive power attenuator, including Two Notes Reload II, Fryette PS-2 / PS-100, Universal Audio OX, Boss WAZA TAE and TAE CORE.

Pure Tone Without Compromise

Every audio path inside the 8X7 uses high-quality relay switching. There are no active audio buffers, no audio processing and no tone coloration. A dedicated pop suppression circuit eliminates switching noises, allowing silent amp and cabinet switching without clicks or interruptions. Your guitar signal stays exactly as it should.

Designed to Protect Your Amplifiers

Tube amplifiers should never operate without a proper speaker load. For this reason, every amplifier connected to the 8X7 is continuously monitored and protected. Safety features include independent internal dummy loads, muted inactive amplifier inputs, a permanent safety load across the speaker bus, an intelligent switching sequence and cabinet detection.
