8-channel Active Line-level Audio Splitter with Gold-plated Connectorsr


Feature-packed, Affordable 8-channel Audio Splitter

For your studio, restaurant, or other commercial sound application, audio engineers at Millionhead know that distribution is simply a must-have functionality. With a capable splitter, you can send audio to multiple locations and control the amplitude of the signal from a central device. The Behringer DS2800 Professional 2-Input 8-Output Distribution Splitter is a well-priced but highly functional audio splitter that employs ultra-low-noise servo-balanced line level inputs for a clean, clear audio path. The DS2800's rear-panel Mode button lets you choose one or two channels of input and send those channels in up to eight directions (one in/eight out or two in/four out). You also get separate A and B link output connectors for daisy-chaining multiple DS2800 units or sending your input signal on to a FOH mixer or another distribution point. Each channel has a corresponding front-panel rotary Level control and a 5-segment LED meter that brightly indicates signal activity, so you'll always have precise control over channel amplitudes. Plus, all the XLR input/output connectors are gold-plated for the ultimate in signal transmission clarity and integrity.

The Behringer DS2800 is a distribution splitter suitable for use in a variety of applications, from studios and live venues, to shops and restaurants. It provides two XLR inputs that you can route to eight separate outputs.

Select between two different modes of operation: 2-in/4-out mode allows you to send stereo signal to four different output pairs, or you can switch the unit into 1-in/8-out mode to output a single, mono track to eight different destinations. Two link outputs are also on hand for expanding the system's capability with additional units.

Eight level knobs on the DS2800 allow you to change the output volume on a channel by channel basis. This feature is particularly useful for attenuating levels in different zones, giving you the ability to make the bar/lounge area significantly louder than the restaurant space. In the studio, this feature is useful for sending different levels to different headphone systems or loudspeakers.

The DS2800 offers low-noise line inputs, as well as servo-balanced inputs and outputs, gold-plated XLR connectors, and 5-segment LED metering with clip indicators. An internal switch-mode power supply provides low power consumption while mitigating troublesome noises that might interfere with your audio.
