: : Dave, : : What is this product used for? : : Al : The reasoning is that microphones have a very low output level and less than the lowest output impedance. : : #1 An active splitter adds some gain to the mic level before sending it down the long snake run, and raising the level higher above any noise induced on the signal. : #2 It provides a method to get multiple splits without losing gain. : #3 It allows you to phantom power mics, right from stage. : #4 The lower output impedance of the active split is preferable. : #5 They are more expensive : #6 There are more things that can go wrong in the signal chain. : We do not typically use them but there are situations I have been in where they are useful. : We own 4 or 8 channels that we use to boost the "low output" Audix om7's on some tours. : Dave Rat
