ART S8 8-Channel Microphone Signal Splitter

ART S8

 8-Channel Microphone Signal Splitter is prefect for sending a secondary microphone signal to a monitor mixer, recording device, etc. ART S8 features eight XLR inputs and 16 outputs. Eight direct outputs pass phantom power to the microphone and are intended to feed the main preamplifiers, mixer inputs or other input devices.

The eight isolated outputs are provided to feed a secondary input device, including a recording device or monitor mixer input. A -29dB input Pad switch is provided on each channel. Ground-lift switches eliminate ground loop noise caused by connected devices.

ART S8 gives you an effective tool for splitting eight balanced low-impedance microphone signals to pairs of outputs, giving you 16. Each channel of the S8 provides one direct output and one transformer-isolated output from a single microphone. You can send the direct outputs to the main or FOH mixer, and the second isolated outputs to a monitor or recording mixer. The direct outputs pass phantom power from the main mixer to the microphones for use with condenser microphones.

Ground lift on each output, pad on each input

The S8 includes a ground-lift switch on each isolated output to reduce hum due to ground loops between connected AC-powered units. 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.
