ART Split Mix 4 Passive 4 Channel Stereo/Mono Mixer Splitter
A great quality and affordable signal splitter and mixer that provides multiple configurations to suit your purpose of either mixing, or splitting separate input signals. This versatile device lets the user split a single microphone signal into two separate outputs, or mix 4 separate mono or stereo inputs down to one stereo output, or any combination of the two. This becomes handy when needing to send a stereo or balanced signal to a front of house mixing desk, as well as a foldback monitor desk or recording desk.
1/4" Stereo/Mono Input and Output Connectors
Each input and output on the Split Mix 4 is a 1/4" jack that is wired as TRS, making them applicable for both mono and stereo use. As there is no active circuitry in the design, the unit will be able to handle just about any incoming level, which can be adjusted using the level knob on the front that allows for up to 90db of attenuation.
Designed for Line-Level or Instrument Signals
The ART SplitMix4 is designed for line-level and instrument-level (Hi-Z) signals. It is not suitable for use with microphones, as the impedance and signal level requirements of mic sources do not match the SplitMix4’s specifications. For mic-level applications, please see our range of dedicated microphone splitters and combiners. For instruments, the SplitMix4 works best with active pickups, keyboards, synthesizers, and any instrument with a buffered output. It can also be used with passive guitar or bass pickups, though some slight high-frequency roll-off may occur due to the input impedance. In most live and casual recording setups this is not noticeable, but for critical tone preservation a DI box or buffer is recommended before the SplitMix4.

Versatile
By: Joel on 11 August 2016This Splitter/Mixer does exactly what it says - highly versatile and with no audible loss in sound quality. The main limitation to keep in mind is the 12dB insertion loss.
