The primary purpose of the Pro Co Sound MS43A is to split and distribute audio signals from four low-impedance microphones into three distinct outputs, allowing for simultaneous connection to multiple preamplifiers from a single source. It's ideal for use in professional audio setups such as live performances, recording studios, and sound reinforcement systems.
The Pro Co Sound MS43A uses standard 3-pin XLR-type connectors for MIC IN, DIRECT, and ISO OUT 1 and 2. This makes it easy to connect using standard microphone cables.
The Pro Co Sound MS43A features transformer isolation which minimizes interference from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) and ground loops. Additionally, the use of balanced lines provides common-mode noise rejection.
The Pro Co Sound MS43A offers a wide, flat frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 20kHz. This ensures high-quality audio with ultralow distortion.
Yes, the Pro Co Sound MS43A is designed to be mounted in any standard 19-inch rack. This makes it a convenient and space-saving solution for professional audio setups.

Mic In : Female 3-pin XLR-type connector accepts signal from low- impedance (150 Ohms nominal) microphone or similar source. Input impedance (with 1.0 KOhms loads on LOOP and both ISO OUTS): approx. 333 Ohms
Direct : Male 3-pin XLR-type connector wired in parallel with MIC IN provides signal to feed mixer input
ISO OUTS : Male 3-pin XLR-type connectors provide floating transformer- isolated low impedance outputs to feed mixer inputs. Recommended load impedances: 1.0 KOhms
GND/LIFTS : GND position connects pin 1 of MIC IN/LOOP OUT to pin 1 of ISO OUT. LIFT position floats" ISO OUT. Used to reduce hum and buzz by eliminating ground loops and providing proper grounding for various conditions

Discover the pinnacle of audio signal distribution with the Pro Co Sound MS43A, a professional-grade 4 Channel 3 Way Rack Mount Mic Splitter designed to cater to the demanding needs of live performances, recording studios, and sound reinforcement systems. This durable and reliable unit is engineered to split signals from four low-impedance microphones into three distinct outputs, allowing for simultaneous connection to multiple preamplifiers from a single source.
Crafted for versatility, the MS43A excels in large sound reinforcement setups where microphones must feed not only the main PA system but also stage monitor systems and broadcast or remote recording mixers. Its robust design effectively addresses grounding issues, which can lead to noise interference and potential shock hazards. The inclusion of high-quality transformers ensures transformer isolation, minimizing the impact of EMI/RFI and ground loops, while preserving the benefits of common-mode noise rejection associated with balanced lines.
Equipped with standard 3-pin XLR-type connectors for MIC IN, DIRECT, and ISO OUT 1 and 2, the MS43A simplifies connectivity by requiring only standard microphone cables. The Pro Co MBT-2 transformer at the heart of this splitter delivers floating, low-impedance outputs with a wide, flat frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 20kHz, ensuring ultralow distortion and minimal ringing. This translates to pristine audio quality and exceptional transient response, free from degradation.
The MS43A's rugged construction features a 16 gauge steel and aluminum "Uni-box" enclosure, finished with a durable black texture powder coat and complemented by black anodized aluminum side channels. The clear control graphics on the Lexan front and back panel overlays enhance usability, while the internal design showcases transformers that are specially crafted for superior audio fidelity and unmatched noise rejection.
Mountable in any standard 19" rack, the MS43A offers a compact and expandable solution for audio splitting, combining top-tier audio performance with unparalleled isolation. Its high-quality connectors and switches are built to withstand the rigors of remote broadcast and recording operations, ensuring consistent, trouble-free service.
In summary, the Pro Co Sound MS43A is a high-quality, professional, and versatile rack mount mic splitter that stands out for its exceptional audio integrity, ease of use, and steadfast performance in any professional audio environment.
