Features
The Square ONE Splitter has eight channels, each with:
• Two mic preamps, based on those used in the acclaimed Midas XL8 Live Performance System
1
; one drives
the two electronically balanced outputs and the other drives the transformer isolated output.
• Two paralleled inputs, one front and one rear.
• Two electronically balanced outputs (rear panel), derived from the front control knob-adjusted mic
preamp.
• One transformer isolated output (front panel), derived from a second fixed gain preamp.
Each channel is clearly labelled and includes the following controls:
• Rotary gain switch with nine positions. Range is from 0dB to +40dB in 5dB steps.
• +48V phantom power switch with adjacent LED for on/off indication.
• 30Hz high pass filter switch with adjacent LED for on/off indication.
• Solo switch with adjacent LED for on/off indication.
• Output meter with four LEDs, which indicate -15dB, 0dB, +12dB and +21dB.
Additional features include:
• Headphone output (1/4” jack) and level control to monitor the solo bus.
• Two global ground lift switches, one for each set of electronically balanced outputs.
• Media split switch for routing channel 8 to all 16 electronically balanced outputs.
• Phantom power sensing for remotely enabling +48V on the inputs when phantom power is activated from
any attached console.
• Male (output) and female (input) XLRs with gold plated connectors.
• Power LED for on/off indication.
• Mains supplied via an IEC socket on rear panel.
• Fuse drawer contains easily replaceable mains fuse and a compartment for a spare.
1. The mic input of the Square ONE Splitter is based around the same circuitry as used in the DL431 Mic Splitter,
which is part of the Midas XL8 Live Performance System, and features exceptionally low noise and distortion,
combined with generous headroom. The Midas XL8 Live Performance System has been specifically designed
for live use and has, at its core, the XL8 Control Centre, which is a user-friendly, state-of-the-art, high
performance digital console.
