Thread Starter |  U.K. mic splits...
In the U.K. it seems very difficult to purchase passive mic splits without spending an absolute fortune. I have tried the T racks Split it's and they are totally useless (The build quality looks excellent) but they impart a HF hash on any split dynamic mic signal, totally unuseable. Does Anybody know where to buy good value passive splits 4 in a 1u rack in the UK or Europe. I have 1 Horizon MS1 which works great but not possible to get the MS4 in europe so all the massive import duties and VAT apply if ordering from the states. I have searched online for a long time for these and I have had no joy at all. I do not want to make them myself. Thanks |

(Sorry, not much help but...) Are you looking for splitters with transformers? What do you think of the arguments at MSX4 Active Mic Splitters Tech Note ?

Thanks for replying but these are neither available in the U.K. or within budget. Passive splits is what I am after with transformers and dcenet ones that don't cost more than my preamps and mics are nigh on impossible to find. thanks |

I know exactly what you mean XLR2XLR. Drop orchid-electronics.co.uk a mail and see what they can do for you. Good luck and let us know how things turn out.

Hi used would be a bit of a gamble I can feel, though thanks for the tip. I found Orchid and spoke to the man Friday, seems a nice chap, but they are not particularly good value, not bad, but not great. |

We use the Klark Teknik active splits (12 ch)...they may cost more but you have more options(transformer & elec balanced splits..plus ability to phantom & add 30db gain if required..great units....
