Applied Research and Technology ART-S8 Eight Channel Balanced 2-Way Mic Splitter

Eight Channel Balanced 2-Way Mic Splitter The ART S8 can be used to split eight balanced low impedance microphone signals into sixteen balanced low impedance microphone signals. Each channel of the S8 provides one direct output and one transformer isolated output from a single microphone. Applications include sending the direct outputs to the main or Front-of-House mixer, and the second isolated outputs being sent to a monitor or recording mixer. The direct outputs pass phantom power from the main mixer to the microphones for use with condenser microphones. The S8 includes a ground-lift switch on each isolated output to reduce noise due to ground loops between connected equipment. For versatility the S8 also features an attenuator pad switch on each input that can be used to connect preamplified signals to the two microphone-level outputs on each channel. Typical preamplified signals would originate from instrument preamplifiers, mixers, keyboards, etc. Features Ideal solution for splitting microphone sources to feed multiple mixing consoles Fully transformer isolated Passes phantom power from main mixer Individual ground lift on each channel Specifications Input Impedance: Greater than 1. 1k Ohms and 1kHz ( Typical) Maximum Input Level: -1. 4dBu and 20Hz/+3. 5dBu and 30Hz/+9. 4dBu and 50Hz Output Impedance: Less Than 255 Ohms and 1kHz Typical THD: Less Than 0. 1 From 45Hz To 20kHz - 15Dbu Input Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20 kHz Weight: 3. 75 lbs
