Hi all. I’m splitting 2 XLR line level audio signals into 3 channels each. I bought one nice device (used) online called the Whirlwind SPL1x3LL (line level). Unfortunately I can’t find another used one for a decent price. However there are plenty of mic impedance matched units, SPL1x3MIC which according to the manufacturer...
I am not sure. I want to keep the signal clean for live playing (avoiding interference, ground loop buzz, etc). I don’t need studio level noise reduction but also I want to maintain signal fidelity to a reasonable degree so that there’s no tone bottlenecks in my already expensive rig. Because I am an audiophile I am okay investing within reason to avoid unnecessary harmonic loss.
Part of my motivation for this splitter was that it had direct pass through on one out and a ground lift switch on the other two. I want more control over my output just in case the FOH hardware has something funky happening. I know Y-cables are another option but I got the splitter used for a lower price than Y so it was a no brainier. Getting/modding a second one is the next consideration.
