ARX MaxiSplit 1 into 4 Line Distribution Splitter

ARX MaxiSplit 1 into 4 Line Distribution Splitter

You'll never compromise on Quality when you choose ARX

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.

For the Installation Contractor, accurately mixing line level audio signals has never been easy. Using the wrong product can lead to lack of headroom, vastly differing input levels, uneven output levels, RF breakthrough - the problems have been seemingly endless.
Until now, that is!

The Solution
Introducing the MaxiMIX from ARX: Two independent mixdown groups, each consisting of 4 line inputs with individual level controls and RF filters. Both groups can be linked for a Mono 8 channel mix.
Each input has up to +6dB of gain available, and full attenuation to allow matching of any line level signals.

Balanced Inputs and Outputs
In Stereo mode, each of the 4 electronically balanced inputs combine into fully balanced Master outputs, each of which has 2 male XLR sockets. In Mono mode all Eight inputs mix down to a single linked pair of Master outputs

Wide Dynamic Range
Internally, careful attention to the 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 three pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch.

Applications

A typical MaxiMIX application would be as an Installation Master Mixer, combining Live Band Mix, Disco, KTV and Audio-for-Video signals. In this way they can all run independently of each other through the one speaker system.
Other applications include using it as a line sub-mixer for external effects units, and as a Keyboards, Drum machines or other Electronic Instruments sub-mixer.

Accurate and compact, the MaxiMIX's unique combination of ultra low distortion, low noise and high headroom makes it the ideal installation line mixer.
