6.2 Application as a splitter

Fig. 6.2: Block diagram of the SPLITTER function

A splitter is a distribution amplifier which allows for splitting a specific input signal to several outputs. This function is of use, e.g., in a large-scale sound reinforcement system where the mixer's output signal needs to be allocated to several power amplifiers. Another field of application is in tape duplication systems, where one master tape machine is to be interfaced with several tape duplication recorders.

In this mode, the output signal from the mixer is applied to the main inputs of the BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO. If the SPLIT/MIX switches are set to “SPLIT”, the mono outputs of the respective channels provide either the left or the right main signal. Depending on the setting of the BALANCE control, any balance between left and right main signal can be adjusted.

At the same time, the main input signal is also sent to the left or right main output, so that here two additional splitter outputs are available. Please note that these outputs do not feature a balance routing function. The left main input is routed exclusively to the left main output; similarly, the right main input feeds the right main output only.

6.2.1 The ULTRALINK PRO as a 4-channel stereo splitter

For this special application, the splitter function configures the unit as a 4-channel stereo splitter. Here, the stereo signal source is connected to the two main inputs. If all mono channels are operated in SPLIT mode, the BALANCE controls of channels 1, 3, and 5 are set to “LEFT”, and the BALANCE controls of channels 2, 4, and 6 to “RIGHT”: thus, the corresponding stereo output pairs are routed through channels 1+2, 3+4, and 5+6. This kind of application is particularly useful for tape duplication systems.
