The unit shall be mounted into a standard 1 RU all steel chassis with extruded aluminium front panel.

It shall consist of two independent channels that enable a signal to be split to four separate outputs. There shall be a switch on the rear panel to change the unit to a single channel unit splitting a signal to eight separate outputs. The front panel shall have indicator LEDs to show which mode is active.

Each channel shall have an electronically balanced 3 pin female XLR input connector, plus a 3 pin male XLR loop output. The balanced input shall  have passive RF filtering to prevent RF breakthrough.
Each of the outputs shall be a 3 pin electronically balanced male XLR connector, and shall have a corresponding output gain control on the front panel which shall provide up to +6dB of gain. All inputs and outputs shall be mounted on the rear panel.

Input Impedance shall be 44K Ohms Balanced, and 22K Ohms Unbalanced. Input Headroom shall be +21dB and Maximum Output Level shall be +27dB.
Output Signal/Noise (@ unity gain) shall be -95dB unweighted, -101dB A weighted, and the Output Impedance shall be 300 Ohms Balanced, 150 Ohms Unbalanced.

The Dynamic Range shall be 120dB, and the Frequency Response shall be 20Hz-20 KHz -1dB
Distortion @ unity gain, 100Hz shall be .0035%. At 1KHz it shall be.0033%, and at 10KHz it shall be .0037%. 

AC power range shall be switchable 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and shall be connected to the unit via a standard three pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch.
The unit shall be the ARX MaxiSplit
