Microphone split
A device or system that sends one microphone signal to multiple destinations such as front of house, monitors, and recording.
Setup
- Passive, transformer, active, and digital splits differ in isolation, gain, phantom-power ownership, grounding, redundancy, and failure behavior; the advance defines responsibility.
Venue contexts
- Theatre, concerts, festivals, broadcast, and corporate events, as applicable
Signal flow
- Confirm the source, patch, transport, control, and destination for the system involved.
In practice
Passive, transformer, active, and digital splits differ in isolation, gain, phantom-power ownership, grounding, redundancy, and failure behavior; the advance defines responsibility.
