3 IN/8 OUT MIDI THRU BOX

The Thru 3x8 MIDI Thru Box has three independent
inputs and 8 independent outputs. Two of the inputs
(In A and In B) are on the front panel and one of the
inputs (In C) is on the back panel. All 8 of the
outputs are on the back panel.

Each of the Thru 3x8’s 8 outputs can be individually
connected to any one of the three inputs using the
8, three position dip switches on the front panel.
Each of the three position dip switches are assigned
to one of the outputs and are labeled “a” (far left
position), “b” (center position) and “c” (far right
position), corresponding to each of the inputs. To
assign a given output to a specific input, set the
desired output’s front panel slide switch to the
desired input. For example, if you want output 5 to
be assigned to input “b” make sure that the #5
output switch on the front panel is set to “b” (the
middle position). You can do this for all 8 of the
slide switches.

Thru 3x8 can be used whenever you have a number
of different MIDI devices that need to be routed to
different destinations. And because the unit has front
slide switches, this routing can be easily changed
without having to unplug and re-plug MIDI cables.

Also, any MIDI signals received at any of the Thru
3x8’s MIDI ins are simultaneously sent out all of
selected MIDI outs. So the Thru 3x8 can be used to
eliminate any “MIDI delay” you may be experiencing
because of daisy chaining several MIDI devices
together.

The Thru 3x8 uses a 9 volt, center pin positive wall
adaptor for power (300 milliamp minimum). To
power the unit up make sure that a suitable adaptor
