Track Rig 8-XLR Audio Output Interface - Multitrack Made Simple

Our review of the Track Rig 8-XLR Audio Output Interface finds it best suited for musicians and small live rigs that need a straightforward way to send multitracks to a PA. The single biggest reason to buy is its simplicity: eight balanced XLR outputs in one compact box remove the need for multiple direct boxes or complex routing, so backing tracks can be routed to the house with a minimum of setup. The review focuses on real-world use as a multitrack out device and the convenience of the built-in USB hub for small studios and stage setups.

Key Features

• 8 XLR Outputs: Provides eight discrete balanced XLR channels to send individual stems directly to a mixing console or front of house without extra DI boxes.
• Multitrack Out Audio Interface: Lets performers hear and route separate multitrack channels so mixes for monitors and the house can remain independent and clear.
• Line Level Compatibility: Outputs are designed for line level connection, making the device compatible with standard console inputs and powered speaker systems.
• 4 USB Ports: The integrated USB hub supplies four extra USB ports to connect controllers, drives, or charge devices while working with your computer.
• All-in-one Convenience: Combines multitrack routing and USB expansion in a single chassis to reduce cable clutter and simplify setup for live and studio use.

Who It's For

The Track Rig 8-XLR suits gigging musicians, worship teams, and small production rigs that run multitracks and need a tidy, reliable way to output separate stems to the house mix. It is particularly useful when you want each part of a backing track on its own channel for level control and processing by the front of house engineer.

Less suitable are users who need analog inputs, integrated mixer functionality, or a full recording interface with mic preamps - those users should look at products that include multitrack inputs and preamps. Also, if you require digital outputs such as AES/EBU or ADAT, this unit does not provide them.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Eight balanced XLR outputs make direct stage-to-FOH routing clean and simple.

• Straightforward line-level outputs reduce setup time and eliminate the need for multiple DI boxes.

Cons

• Does not include mic preamps or input channels, so it is not a full recording interface for capturing live mics.
