Even in this digital age, we've kept sight of the numerous applications where
analogue devices provide the best solution. One such application is providing
multiple feeds from a single source, hence the introduction of the DN1248 Plus
Active Signal Splitter.
Housed in a roadworthy 3RU chassis with internal power supply, a single
DN1248 Plus provides twelve input channels, each feeding four outputs, two of
which are electronically balanced and two which are transformer isolated. All
the inputs and output one are also duplicated on the rear of the unit, so the
patching options are extremely flexible. The microphone preamplifier is a Midas
Heritage series unit, specially adapted to the task and providing all the great
sound and headroom for which Midas preamps are world famous.
Several factory options are available for DN1248 Plus: the 'DP' option, which
provides (at very low cost) a second, linked internal PSU to provide auto-backup
in the case of PSU failure. The 'AT' option provides transformer balancing for
all 48 outputs, and the 'FM' variant combines both 'DP' and 'AT' advantages.
Plus, the whole unit is designed so that a customer can easily retrofit the
multipin connector and input / output configuration of their choice.
