INTRODUCTION:

Thank you for purchasing Applied Research and
Technology’s SPLITMIX4. The SPLITMix4 is a fully
passive hybrid mixer that offers a wide variety of
configurations. Mix 4 stereo input channels down to 1
stereo output, split a stereo input signal to distribute 4
stereo output channels, or combine the configurations
for a wide range of applications. You can even configure
the SPLITMIx4 as 4 stereo input channels thru 4
independent level attenuators to 4 stereo output
channels.

Independent stereo level controls are provided on each
channel. All ¼-inch connections are stereo TRS (Tip,
Ring, Sleeve) and all channel connections have
intelligent switching to allow for a wide variety of
configurations. Plugging into a mix input channel
removes it from the splitter bus, and plugging into a
splitter output channel removes it from the mix bus.
Stereo or mono operation is determined by the type of
¼-inch plug and cabling that you use.

The fully passive design of the SPLITMix4 has no active
circuitry to add noise or distortion, and virtually any
signal level can be handled. The Level attenuators cover
a wide range and offer over 90dB of attenuation and
channel isolation. The SPLITMix4 is designed primarily
as a line level device with medium input and output
impedances. Low impedance microphones, speakers,
