Superb Audio Quality
Active microphone and line signal splitting have a number of benefits over using passive splitters: primarily these are improved sound quality, noise figures comparable to the best microphone inputs, and increased resistance to RFI.
About the MSX 32
With these benefits in mind, the New ARX MSX 32 Active Microphone/Line Splitter has been developed to deliver the performance required by the increasing complexity of today’s standards of audio production.
The MSX 32 consists of eight channels of actively buffered ultra-low noise microphone/line splitter. Each of these channels has two transformer balanced splits on the front panel and two electronically balanced outputs on the rear panel for main and monitor. These can be optionally transformer balanced (Model MSX32 T/ALL).
Each channel has a –20 dB pad switch plus silently switchable 48V phantom power with indicator LED. A PFL switch and 6 LED metering enables each channel to be easily checked with headphones for signal monitoring, and also for line tracing when troubleshooting.
Gain through the MSX 32 can be set individually by the small DIP switches on the rear of each channel, from 0 dB through to +40 dB in 10 dB steps A ‘Link’ switch links each channel to the previous one, providing an ultimate maximum of 32 outputs from a single input. An indicator LED shows when this is active. A clip LED indicates imminent signal overload through the channel, and a numbered marker panel on the front provides a space where individual channel connections can be noted. Number stickers are provided to give each channel an individual number for up to 40 channels when multiple MSX32’s are being used.
Internally, powerful RF input filtering removes both common mode and differential interference at ultrasonic frequencies and above. High CMRR is achieved by the use of precision components throughout. Advanced user options include internally jumper linking inputs to main outputs, and Ground lifting Output Pins 1 as required.
Internal Power Supply and the PSU32 Redundant Backup Supply
The MSX 32 uses an internal toroidal transformer-based power to get the maximum benefit from the ultra low noise design of the splitter circuitry.
However, for “critical” applications where systems must keep operating, we recommend including the PSU 32 redundant power supply unit. Individual +V, -V, and 48VDC rail LED indicators show when the PSU 32 redundant power supply unit is connected to the MSX 32.
An illuminated power switch on the front panel provides visual confirmation of AC power connection to the unit. The headphone output and the 6 LED PFL metering are both mounted on the right-hand side of the front panel. Rear panel connectors enable this function to be linked when using multiple MSX 32 units.
To sum up, this feature-packed two rack unit device is the answer wherever transparent signal buffering and routing is required.
MaxiSPLIT: 2 Into 4, 1 Into 8 Line Distribution Splitter
In the modern multi-zone installation audio environment it has become a fact of life that one signal now has to go to more than one place, and usually at differing levels. And, to ensure a low noise floor and good frequency response, the split signal needs to be buffered and balanced as well.
The Solution
To fulfill this seemingly simple but important signal splitting task, ARX has designed the MaxiSPLIT: two independent channels of 1 into 4 splitters, switchable to a single channel 1 into 8 splitter by using the rear panel channel link switch. Mode status is shown by the front panel LED indicators.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
Each channel features Male and Female electronically balanced XLR inputs, with passive RF filtering to prevent RF breakthrough. Each output features an electronically balanced male XLR output with individual output gain control on the front panel, providing up to +6 dB of gain.
Wide Dynamic Range
Internally, careful attention to signal path design has resulted in a unit with wide dynamic range, enough headroom to cope with the hottest line signal, and better than digital noise specifications.
Universal AC Power
AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC and is connected to the unit via a standard IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch
Applications
A typical MaxiSplit application would be as a Master Line Distribution Splitter. In this way, it can control the levels of 4 different zones in a stereo installation or up to 8 different zones in a mono installation.
Other applications include splitting effects sends to multiple effects units in both studio and live sound applications, supplying different feeds from the main signal, and separating OB signals in broadcasting.
Accurate and compact, the MaxiSplit's unique combination of ultra-low distortion, low noise, and high headroom makes it the ideal installation line distribution splitter.

A Pro Audio Toolbox
This unique and flexible audio toolbox allows six independent unbalanced audio sources to easily and quietly interface with balanced pro audio systems, either to individual channels or summed down to one master output.
But That's Not All
By pressing a single switch on the rear panel the DI-6SM will change modes from 6 Direct Boxes plus mixer to being a 6-way splitter (mic/line distribution amplifier). Now it will split an incoming microphone or line signal to 6 individual outputs or zones, with an XLR loop out to send the microphone output to a mixing desk as well. Switchable phantom power and gain trim for the mic input completes this new package
On the front panel, each channel has 2 IN/OUT jacks, a level control from infinity (off) through 0 dB to +15 dB gain, and a clip indicator LED.
The master section has a master volume control and status LEDs indicating whether the unit is in DI+Mixer or in splitter mode. For your convenience, there is also a balanced jack mix output on the front panel, in parallel with the balanced XLR mix output on the rear panel.
Balanced Outputs
On the rear, each channel has an XLR Balanced output, with associated ground lift switch and status LED, to isolate the chassis and electronic grounds.
The Master section has a Balanced XLR output on the rear and a balanced jack output on the front panel. In addition, there is a balanced XLR input with a switch to put the unit in either DI+Mixer or into Splitter mode. In Splitter mode, there is a switch to toggle between Microphone and Line level input, as well as a phantom power switch and a loop output for a microphone signal to go to a Mixing desk as well
Universal AC Power
AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC and is connected to the unit via a removable power lead and standard three-pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch.
