Important for U. K. Customers!
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
blue = neutral
brown = live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the termi-
nals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1 . The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black .
2 . The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red .
If the unit is to be put out of opera-
tion definitively, take it to a local re-
cycling plant for a disposal which will
not be harmful to the environment .
3 Application and Setting-up
The line splitter allows to split 2 line input signals
to 4 outputs each or 1 line input signal to 8 out-
puts . Thus, e . g . an audio signal can be applied
.
to 8 amplifiers as a maximum and the input level
for each amplifier can individually be adjusted
for each amplifier via a separate control .
The unit is provided for rack mounting
(482 mm / 19"), but it can also be used as a
table top unit . For mounting into a rack, 1 rack
space is required (1 rack space = 44 .5 mm) .
4 Connection
Prior to connection or changing connections,
switch off the line splitter and the units to be
connected .
1) Apply the signal to be split to the XLR jack
INPUT A (12) . To split another signal, apply
it to the XLR jack INPUT B (11) . Units with
a line output (e . g . CD players, mixers, etc .)
can be connected to the jacks INPUT . If
required, use an adapter (RCA plug or
6 .3 mm plug to XLR plug .

The jacks INPUT have a lock . To pull out
a plug, press the button PUSH of the jack .
2) Connect the line inputs of the units to
which the signals are to be split to the XLR
jacks OUTPUT SECTION A (10) and OUTPUT
SECTION B (9) .
3) Finally connect the mains plug of the cable
(8) to a socket (230 V/ 50 Hz) .
5 Operation
1) Switch on the unit with the POWER switch
(7) . The red POWER LED (4) lights up .
2) Switch on the connected units, last of all,
the units which are connected to the out-
puts (9 and 10) .
3) Select the operating mode:
To apply the input signal A to the outputs
CH 1 to CH 4 and the input signal B to the
outputs CH 5 to CH 8, the button LINK TO
INPUT A (6) must be unlocked . The splitter
operates in the 2 / 4 mode .
To apply the input signal A to all outputs,
lock the button LINK TO INPUT A (6) . The
splitter operates in the 1/ 8 mode .
4) Adjust the input levels with the controls
INPUT LEVEL (5) in such a way that the cor-
responding LED (1) shortly shows red with
music passages of highest volume . In the
1/ 8 mode the control LEVEL INPUT B has
no influence on the outputs CH 5 to CH 8 .
5) With the controls LEVEL CH 1 – CH 8 (2 and 3)
the levels for the outputs can individually
be adjusted .
