venues face a
growing need to provide a multiplicity of audio feeds from
presentations, conferences, orchestral performances and
lectures. The advent of digital
broadcasting, the growth of webcasts and direct-to-CD
archiving highlight the deficiencies in audio splitting
systems more than ever before. Whether the final product is
a broadcast feed or CD sales of an unrepeatable lecture,
performance or event, end-users expectations of audio
quality are higher than ever. Active microphone and line
splitting has a number of benefits over passive splitters:
primarily these are improved sound quality, noise figures
comparable to the best microphone inputs, and increased
resistance to RFI. All of which translate into superb audio
quality for your clients. About the

With these requirements in mind, ARX has developed the
MSX 8 Active Microphone/Line Splitter to deliver the
performance required by todays standards of audio
production.
The MSX 8 consists
of two channels of actively buffered ultra low noise
Microphone/ Line Splitter. Each of these channels has four
electronically Balanced splits two on the rear panel,
plus two more on the front panel. All four output splits
have the option of transformer balancing if so
specified.
Gain through the MSX 8 can be set individually by the small
DIP switches on the rear of each channel, from 0dB through
to +40 dB in 10 dB steps
A Link switch links Channel 1 to Channel 2,
providing an ultimate maximum of 8 Outputs from a single
input. An indicator LED shows when this is active. A Clip
LED indicates imminent signal overload through the channel,
and a numbered marker panel on the front provides a space
where individual channel connections can be noted.
For remote or mobile applications a 5 pin DIN connector on
the rear panel provides an access point to connect a 12V DC
power supply
Internally, powerful
RF input filtering removes both common mode and differential
interference at ultrasonic frequencies and above. High CMRR
is achieved by the use of precision components
throughout.
Advanced user options include internally jumper linking
Inputs to Main outputs, and Ground lifting Output Pins 1as
required.
The MSX 8 has a low
noise transformer based power supply to obtain the maximum
benefit from the ultra low noise design of the splitter
circuitry.
Summing up, the feature packed MSX 8 is the answer wherever
transparent signal buffering and routing is required.
