ART S8
Eight Channel Mic Splitter
The ART S8 can be used to split eight balanced low impedance
microphone signals into sixteen balanced low impedance
microphone signals (eight pairs).

Each channel of the S8 provides one direct output and one transformer
isolated output from a single microphone. Applications include sending
the direct outputs to the main or Front-of-House mixer, and the second
isolated outputs being sent to a monitor or recording mixer. The direct
outputs pass phantom power from the main mixer to the microphones
for use with condenser microphones.

The S8 includes a ground-lift switch on each isolated output to reduce
noise due to ground loops between connected equipment. For versatility
the S8 also features an attenuator pad switch on each input that can be
used to connect preamplified signals to the two microphone-level outputs
on each channel. Typical preamplified signals would originate from
instrument preamplifiers, mixers, keyboards, et cetera.
