Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Radial’s PZ-Pro is a two-channel instrument preamp, switcher, and stage-control hub for managing two sources in performance. Switch between them or blend them, then set input level, semi-parametric EQ, and feedback-reduction filters for each channel independently. A single footswitch can bring pedals and a signal booster into the setup, while the FX loop provides wet/dry control. Balanced XLR outputs send the finished signal to a PA or recording interface, with pre- and post-EQ options available.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage sets that switch or blend two instrument sources with independent level and EQ control.
- Performances needing feedback-reduction filters on both channels and footswitchable effects control.
- Rigs using a dynamic or condenser microphone through the Channel B input.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Rigs requiring more than two input channels at the same time.
