[. . . ] ART cessories March 2003 TM Creative audio solutions in cool little boxes. SplitCOM Mic Splitter/Combiner Say you are running two mixers at once ­ perhaps one for the monitor system and one for the main PA (or one for a broadcast feed and one for the PA). [. . . ] For example, if you simply used a "Y" adapter, signal strength and quality would be lost. For this reason, the SplitCOM professional splitter has a built-in transformer. Since you may be splitting the balanced output of an instrument amp or preamp, another consideration is "hum" caused by a ground loop. The SplitCOM splitter box also features a ground lift switch to reduce that problem. Usage: a. ) Using a low-Z mic cable or balanced line cord, connect the output of the source (mic, balanced amp line out, balanced preamp line out, etc. ) to the Input connector on the SplitCOM. b. ) With two similar cables, connect the SplitCOM's Output and Thru output to the mic inputs on the mixers or other devices. c. ) If a hum occurs, set the SplitCOM's Ground Lift switch to the "Lift" position. Specifications: · The SplitCOM provides professional low-Z-mic/balanced-line splitting facilities for one source.
