Description

Elevate your studio's recording capabilities with the Art S8 Microphone Splitter, a powerhouse tool designed for the discerning audio professional. Whether you're orchestrating a complex live performance setup or streamlining your studio recording environment, the Art S8 promises not just to meet, but exceed your expectations. This splitter effortlessly divides eight balanced low-impedance microphone signals into sixteen outputs (eight pairs), ensuring that your audio's integrity is preserved across both front-of-house and monitor mixes or remote recording applications.

The Art S8 stands out with its dual-output channels, offering one direct and one transformer-isolated output per microphone. This setup is perfect for sending direct outputs to your main mixer while isolating the second outputs for monitors or recording, all without compromising on sound quality. Moreover, the direct outputs are engineered to pass phantom power from the main mixer to the microphones, catering to condenser microphones with ease. Versatility is at the heart of the Art S8, featuring a ground-lift switch on each isolated output to minimize hum and noise caused by ground loops, alongside an attenuator pad switch on each input, making it compatible with a wide range of preamplified signals.

Embrace the perfect harmony of high-quality audio performance and functionality with the Art S8, your studio's new indispensable ally.

Key Features:

  • Splits eight balanced low-impedance microphone signals into sixteen (eight pairs)
  • Provides one direct output and one transformer-isolated output per channel
  • Direct outputs capable of passing phantom power for condenser microphones
  • Features a ground-lift switch on each isolated output to reduce noise from ground loops
  • Includes an attenuator pad switch on each input for connecting preamplified signals
