Splitters and phantom power
« on: March 24, 2016, 09:25:19 AM »
How do splitter boxes like the Split 6 treat phantom power?

For example, if I'm running:

Mics>Split 6>Deck 1
                   >Deck 2

If Deck 1 has phantom power on, is that going to properly power the mics, and is deck 2 going to also get a correct signal?

Pres/Power: Aerco MP2, tinybox v2  [KCY], CA-UBB
Decks: Sound Devices MixPre 6, Zoom F8, M10, D50

You should only need to send phantom from one deck

Exactly! Just make sure ONLY ONE DECK/PREAMP has phantom or you'll FU&* some shit up lol :) I'm not sure about the Split 6 though! But in the past when Ive run splitters from mics into two different +48v Phantom preamps/decks, only ONE needs to supply the Phantom Power ;)

And congrats on the PSP3 AJ 8) Just noticed you scored one!

The Split 6 is designed for line level signals, and offers more splits than are practical for a mic level signal.

A better splitter for mic level signals and dealing with the P48 issue is an iso splitter like this one.

.
The Whirlwind 1x3 Imp Split has 1:1 iso transformers to block p48 on two of the three splits as well as ground lift switches
