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

Enhance your audio recording setup with the Whirlwind SPC83LUNT, a passive 8-Channel Mic Splitter, expertly designed for professional installed applications. This sleek, 1RU rack-mountable unit is engineered to accommodate eight microphone channels, offering one direct and two transformer-isolated outputs per channel, ensuring optimal audio distribution for your recording needs.

The Whirlwind SPC83LUNT is equipped with premium Lundahl transformers, renowned for their superior audio quality, delivering crisp, clear sound across all channels. This mic splitter is designed with user-friendly, removable Phoenix-style connectors, facilitating balanced connections for all input/output (I/O) connections, enhancing the ease of setup and operation.

One key feature of this 8-channel mic splitter is its ability to pass phantom power from direct in to direct out, ensuring your microphones are adequately powered for optimal performance. However, it's important to note that the isolated outputs do not pass phantom power, necessitating the direct output to be connected to the phantom power source if the splitter is not providing power.

To combat the common issue of hum caused by ground loops, the Whirlwind SPC83LUNT features a series of ground-lift DIP-switches located on the back panel. Each ISO output is equipped with a set of dipswitches for lifting the ground connection between the input and output, offering a practical solution to reduce or eliminate hum or buzz. Typically, the switch is left in the "GND" position, but can be moved to the "LIFT" position if hum or buzz issues arise.

In summary, the Whirlwind SPC83LUNT 8-Channel Mic Splitter is a robust, high-quality audio equipment piece, designed to deliver superior sound quality and versatile functionality for professional audio recording environments.
