Pro Co Sound LS82 8 Channel 2 Way Rack Mount Line Splitter

Make your audio distribution more efficient and reliable with the Pro Co Sound LS82 8 Channel 2 Way Rack Mount Line Splitter. This high-quality audio equipment is designed to split signals from eight line-level sources into two distinct outputs, offering you greater control over your sound reinforcement systems.

The LS82 is equipped with eight top-tier 1:1 line-level output transformers, providing the high degree of electrical isolation that only transformers can deliver. This feature is particularly useful in breaking ground loops between equipment connected with unbalanced lines, and in feeding two inputs from a single source.

For example, the LS82 can be utilized to float the unbalanced outputs of an active crossover unit that needs to drive long cables connected to power amplifier inputs, while simultaneously providing a direct output for nearfield monitors. This capability helps to minimize grounding problems that can lead to excessive noise levels and potential shock hazards in complex systems.

The LS82's transformer isolation also effectively reduces interference from SCR lighting dimmers, radio transmitters, and 60 Hz AC power wiring. Its common-mode voltage range makes it more resilient to improper connections or fault conditions than any electronically balanced or "transformerless" circuit, making it an essential safeguard for portable sound reinforcement systems and installations.

The LS82 features Phoenix COMBICON plug-in screw connectors for LINE IN, DIRECT OUT, and ISO OUT, simplifying the hookup process. Its use of the Pro Co LOT-P transformer ensures floating, low-impedance outputs with a wide, flat frequency response, ultra-low distortion, and no ringing or overshoot to degrade transient response.

Designed with a rugged 16 gauge steel and aluminum "Uni box" construction, the LS82 is finished in a durable black texture powder coat finish with black anodized aluminum side channels. Its easy-to-read control graphics are incorporated into the Lexan front and back panel overlays, while its specially designed transformers combine superb audio quality with unsurpassed noise rejection.

The LS82 can be mounted in any standard 19" (482.6mm) rack, making it a versatile addition to any professional audio setup. Its top-quality connectors and switches are designed to provide trouble-free service, even in challenging environments such as remote broadcast and recording operations. The rack-mounting design of the LS82 allows for the assembly of a conveniently packaged expandable splitting system that combines top-quality audio performance and isolation.
