Why did Radial chose D-Subs?
Back in the 90’s, Tascam began using D-Subs on their DA88 digital recorders and they quickly became one of the most popular connectors for digital recording formats on the planet. This makes finding the cables very easy in practically any music store. With 32 channels being connected (8 inputs and 24 outputs (3×8 outs) D-Subs provide a compact and workable solution that can fit in a single rack space. They can also be locked into place. So long as they are not constantly being connected and disconnected, they work well.
