Lehle P Split III passive Signal Splitter with High Impedance Lehle transformer
Product Overview
Lehle P-Split III specifications
- Passive splitter and DI box
- Absolutely no signal loss or hum
- High-impedance LEHLE TRANSFORMER HZ with phase and ground switch
- Suitable for balanced or unbalanced signals
At its core is the high-end LEHLE TRANSFORMER HZ, which galvanically isolates the two outputs, eliminating any possibility of ground loops. The LEHLE TRANSFORMER HZ was specially designed for use with high-impedance signals but also splits low-impedance signals with uncompromising sound quality. The signal can be picked off either symmetrically or asymmetrically from the ISO output.
By using the phase inverter switch with gold-plated contacts you can flip the signal phase at the ISO output, preventing phase cancellation from impairing signal reproduction.
The classic application for the LEHLE P-SPLIT III is splitting an input signal to two outputs, enabling you to connect an instrument to two devices, which may, for example, be two amplifiers, or an amp and a mixer/recording unit (PC/DAW). Thanks to its ability to pick off the balanced signal on the ISO output, the LEHLE P-SPLIT III is also eminently suitable for use as a high-quality compact DI box for all types of signal.
Another useful application for the LEHLE P-SPLIT III is as a hum suppressor. Frequently background noise caused by ground loops occurs when two electronic devices are connected to each other. The LEHLE P-SPLIT III provides a simple, but extremely effective remedy when installed between the two units. Using the ISO output, the devices are galvanically isolated and background noise becomes a thing of the past.
You can even use the versatile LEHLE P-SPLIT III as a passive mono summing unit for a stereo signal by using the DIR output as second input.
And just in case you are looking for a power connection: the LEHLE P-SPLIT III performs all its functions without any need for a power supply.
