Art Pro Audio S8 8-Channel Balanced 2-Way High Performance Microphone Splitter

An essential tool for professional audio setups, the ART S8 8-Channel Balanced 2-Way High Performance Microphone Splitter is designed to efficiently divide eight balanced low impedance microphone signals into sixteen. This powerful device creates eight pairs of balanced low impedance microphone signals, each channel offering one direct output and one transformer isolated output from a single microphone.

Ideal for diverse audio applications, the ART S8 Microphone Splitter allows the direct outputs to be sent to the main or Front-of-House mixer, while the second isolated outputs can be directed to a monitor or recording mixer. This feature ensures seamless audio management for live performances, studio recordings, and other professional audio environments.

The ART S8 stands out for its ability to pass phantom power from the main mixer to the microphones, a crucial feature for use with condenser microphones. To further enhance audio quality, the S8 is equipped with a ground-lift switch on each isolated output. This function effectively reduces noise caused by ground loops between connected audio equipment, ensuring clear, high-quality sound.

For added versatility, the S8 Microphone Splitter also includes an attenuator pad switch on each input. This feature allows for the connection of preamplified signals to the two microphone-level outputs on each channel. These preamplified signals can originate from a variety of sources such as instrument preamplifiers, mixers, keyboards, and more.

In summary, the ART S8 8-Channel Balanced 2-Way High Performance Microphone Splitter is a robust and versatile device, designed to deliver superior audio management for professional sound setups.
