Whirlwind 8-Channel Mic Splitter with 1x Direct and 2x Isolated Outputs, Passes Phantom Power from Direct In to Direct Out

Why choose the Whirlwind SPC83 for your audio setup This premium 8-Channel Mic Splitter is an essential tool for sound engineers and audio professionals who require reliable and high-quality signal distribution in a fixed installation. The Whirlwind SPC83 is a passive, rack-mountable unit that seamlessly fits into a standard 1RU space, making it an unobtrusive addition to any audio rack.

Each of the eight input channels on the Whirlwind SPC83 offers one direct output and two transformer-isolated outputs, ensuring that your audio signals are cleanly and accurately split without interference. The direct outputs are capable of passing phantom power from the input to the output, which is crucial for condenser microphones that require external power. This feature allows for flexibility in situations where phantom power is not available at the splitter itself.

The Whirlwind SPC83 is built with high-quality Whirlwind transformers, renowned for their exceptional audio fidelity. These transformers ensure that your sound remains pristine and free from distortion, making the SPC83 an ideal choice for professional recording and live sound applications.

Connectivity is straightforward and secure, thanks to the removable Phoenix-style connectors. These connectors facilitate balanced connections, providing a stable and noise-free signal path for your microphones.

Ground loops can be a common issue in complex audio setups, often resulting in unwanted hum or buzz. The Whirlwind SPC83 addresses this problem with a series of ground-lift DIP-switches located on the back panel. Each isolated output is equipped with its own set of DIP-switches, allowing you to lift the ground connection between the input and output as needed. By toggling the switch from the "GND" to the "LIFT" position, you can effectively reduce or eliminate ground loop interference, ensuring a clean and professional sound.

In summary, the Whirlwind SPC83 is a robust and versatile mic splitter that offers exceptional audio quality, flexible connectivity, and advanced ground loop interference solutions. It is an indispensable piece of equipment for any serious audio installation, providing the reliability and performance that audio professionals demand.
