Say you are running two mixers at once – perhaps one for the
monitor system and one for the main PA (or one for a broadcast
feed and one for the PA). If a performer wants his/her mic split
into a powered monitor and the PA,you will need the ability to
split the signal from the source so that the signal can go both
ways. It is also important that the output of the source encounters
the right impedance. For example,if you simply used a “Y”
adapter, signal strength and quality would be lost. For this reason,
the SplitCOM professional splitter has a built-in transformer.
Since you may be splitting the balanced output of an instrument
amp or preamp,another consideration is “hum”caused by a
ground loop. The SplitCOM splitter box also features a ground
lift switch to reduce that problem.
Specifications:
The SplitCOM provides professional low-Z-mic/balanced-line
splitting facilities for one source.
