MSX 8 Architects' Specifications

The Active Microphone/Line Splitter shall be a two channel unit in a steel chassis six inches (155mm) deep and one rack unit (44mm) high.
Each channel shall have its input and two outputs on the rear panel plus two outputs on the front panel. Each channel shall also have a 48V Phantom power switch on the front panel with an indicator LED and a -20 dB pad switch with an indicator LED. 
There shall also be afront panel switch with an indicator LED to link both channels, thereby providing a maximum of 8 outputs from one input.
The Input headroom shall be +21dB, with a CMRR of better than 70dB, and the frequency response shall be 10 Hz to 20 KHz, ±0.5dB. 
The Output impedance shall be 100 ohms electronically balanced on all four outputs per channel. Additionally all outputs shall have the option of being transformer balanced. 
The maximum Output level shall be +24dB, with a Signal to Noise ratio of -94dB unweighted. Total Harmonic Distortion shall be 0.008% @ 0dB, 20 Hz to 20 KHz. 
Gain through the unit shall be switchable to 0, +10, +20, +30, +40dB via rear panel switches.
AC power shall be supplied by a removable 3 pin mains cable, connecting to an IEC connector with integral fuse and voltage change switch on the unit’s rear panel.
There shall also be a 5 pin DIN connector on the rear panel to connect a 12Volt DC power supply for use in remote or mobile applications
The Active Microphone Splitter shall be the ARX MSX 8.
