About Pro Co Sound MS83

What sets the Pro Co Sound MS83 8 Channel 3 Way Rack Mount Microphone Splitter apart is its ability to efficiently split signals from eight low-impedance microphones into three distinct outputs. This feature allows for simultaneous feeding of three microphone preamplifiers from a single source, making it an invaluable asset in large sound reinforcement systems.

Designed for professional use, this microphone splitter is ideal for complex audio setups where the P.A. system microphones need to be connected to a stage monitor system as well as a broadcast or remote recording mixer. Its transformer isolation minimizes interference from EMI/RFI and ground loops, ensuring clear, noise-free audio.

The MS83 is equipped with Phoenix COMBICON plug-in screw connectors for MIC IN, DIRECT OUT, and ISO OUT 1 and 2, simplifying the hookup process. The Pro Co MBT-2 transformer within the MS83 provides floating, low-impedance outputs with a wide, flat frequency response, ultra-low distortion, and minimal ringing or overshoot, enhancing the overall transient response.

Constructed with a rugged 16 gauge steel and aluminum "Uni box" enclosure, this microphone splitter is finished in a durable black texture powder coat with black anodized aluminum side channels. The Lexan front and back panel overlays feature easy-to-read control graphics, while the specially designed transformers inside offer superb audio quality and unsurpassed noise rejection.

The MS83 is designed to fit any standard 19" (482.6mm) rack, making it a versatile choice for various audio setups. Its top-quality connectors and switches are built to withstand even the most demanding environments, such as remote broadcast and recording operations. The rack-mounting design of this professional-grade microphone splitter allows for the assembly of a conveniently packaged, expandable splitting system that delivers top-quality audio performance and isolation.
