The ART S8 Microphone Splitter is an effective tool for splitting 8 balanced low-impedance microphone signals into sixteen balanced low impedance microphone signals (eight pairs). Each channel of the S8 provides one direct output and one transformer-isolated output from a single microphone.
The ART S8 Microphone Splitter's 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 ART S8 Microphone Splitter includes a ground-lift switch on each isolated output to reduce noise due to ground loops between connected equipment. For versatility the ART 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, et cetera.
