Audio Quality About the
MSX 32 The MSX 32 consists of eight
channels of actively buffered ultra low noise
Microphone/Line Splitter. Each of these channels has four
electronically Balanced splits – two outputs on the
rear panel for Main and Monitor, plus two more output splits
on the front panel. All splits have the option of
transformer balancing if so specified. Gain through the MSX 32 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 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. Internal
Power Supply To sum up, this feature
packed two RU device is the answer wherever transparent
signal buffering and routing is required. Signal / Noise Ratio

Active microphone
and line signal splitting has a number of benefits over
using passive splitters: primarily these are improved sound
quality, noise figures comparable to the best microphone
inputs, and increased resistance to RFI.
With these benefits
in mind, the ARX MSX 32 Active Microphone/Line Splitter has
been developed to deliver the performance required by the
increasing complexity of today’s standards of audio
production.
Each channel has a –20 dB pad switch plus silently
switchable 48V Phantom power with indicator LED. A PFL
switch and 6 LED metering enables each channel to be easily
checked with headphones for signal monitoring, and also for
line tracing when troubleshooting.
A ‘Link’ switch links each channel to the previous
one, providing an ultimate maximum of 32 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.
Number stickers are provided to give each channel an
individual number for up to 40 channels when multiple MSX32s
are being used.
Advanced user options include internally jumper linking
Inputs to Main outputs, and Ground lifting Output Pins 1 as
required.
The MSX 32’s
internal toroidal transformer based power supply is triple
shielded to get the maximum benefit from the ultra low noise
design of the splitter circuitry.
An illuminated power switch on the front panel provides
visual confirmation of AC power connection to the unit.
The headphone output and the 6 LED PFL metering are both
mounted on the right hand side of the front panel. Rear
panel connectors enable this function to be linked when
using multiple MSX 32 units.
