Description of Block Diagram
All audio input and output connections are done via a plug-in type Phoenix style screw
type barrier strips. Each inline strip accommodates 4 channels. On the back panel, all
input and iso outputs are separate groups. The strips allow termination of wire ends
without the splitter unit present and provide for quick and easy connect/disconnect. The
Direct IN/OUT terminations, which accept a mic level input, are used for generating a
direct-wired parallel output should a 5-way splitter be desired.
Each channel has its own phantom power on/off switch with LED indicator. When
engaged, 48 volt phantom power is placed on the Direct IN/OUT + and – terminals. The
individual phantom power on/off switches allow worry free hook up to electronic
equipment not able to block the 48 volts DC.
After the input, the signal passes thru a 20dB pad. This allows input of line signal levels
up to +20dBm.
