About Klark Teknik DS 20

From the renowned lineage of KLARK TEKNIK's top-tier signal processing equipment, the DS 20 PRO SPLITTER 2 emerges as a paragon of audio fidelity and operational simplicity. This passive 1-In/2-Out signal splitter is engineered to deliver the expansive headroom, dynamic responsiveness, and crystal-clear sonic quality that professionals demand.

The DS 20 is the quintessential tool for distributing balanced XLR signals to a variety of destinations. Whether you're connecting to front-of-house (FOH) and monitor consoles, powering active monitor loudspeakers, or integrating into broadcast mixers, this splitter is designed to perform flawlessly without the need for external power.

At the heart of the DS 20 lies a custom-built MIDAS transformer, a testament to the legendary sound quality that has defined MIDAS since the 1970s. Known for their groundbreaking audio mixing consoles and no-compromise approach to audio and build quality, MIDAS's award-winning designs are the gold standard in the industry. The DS 20 proudly incorporates these MIDAS-designed transformers to ensure exceptional audio reproduction in both live and studio settings.

The DS 20 boasts a high headroom design, featuring a custom instrumentation-grade input circuit. This advanced analogue design technique achieves an optimal input impedance match, resulting in an ultra-low noise floor and an ultra-linear system. The frequency response is impressively flat, spanning from 30 Hz to 45 kHz (+/-3 dB), ensuring accurate signal transmission across a broad spectrum.

Connectivity is paramount with the DS 20. All input and output connections utilize high-quality Neutrik XLR jacks, renowned for their superior signal integrity. To combat ground loop issues, dual independent Earth Lift switches for Output A and Output B jacks are provided, facilitating clean signal paths across different mains electricity supplies. The fully transformer-isolated design of the DS 20 guarantees pristine performance, even in complex production environments.

The DS 20's construction is both compact and rugged. A robust aluminum extrusion encases the electronics, offering protection against the demands of touring and live events. Rubber corner bumpers add an extra layer of durability, ensuring that the DS 20 is ready for action wherever you go.

Versatility is at the forefront of the DS 20 PRO SPLITTER 2's design. It allows for the distribution of identical copies of balanced input signals to multiple discrete outputs, all while maintaining signal integrity and galvanic isolation. The intuitive design, coupled with a road-ready enclosure, makes the DS 20 an indispensable asset for any audio professional seeking reliability and quality in signal splitting solutions.
