Splitters and phantom power

[acidjack]

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?

You should only need to send phantom from one deck

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 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
