Line splitter, passive, 1 input, 1 direct out & 2 Jensen isolated outputs. The LX-3 from Radial is a passive line splitter and attenuator designed to lower hot signal levels and split one line-level input source to three line-level output paths, allowing flexible routing or parallel processing. Featuring low noise, high dynamic range, and flat frequency response, the LX-3 will not compromise signal quality. For live sound, the LX-3 can split a mixer output to a PA, a primary multitrack recorder, and a backup multitrack recorder. In the studio, use it to split the output of a microphone preamp. Then, record one split with compression, one without compression, and one with tape saturation. Easily compare hardware compressors by routing the LX-3's outputs to multiple compressors. Manage extreme levels with the input pad, offering 12 dB of attenuation. It is equally well-suited for live and in-the-studio productions, with its 14-gauge steel enclosure and no-slip pad. For installation in 500 Series racks, J-Rak 4 and J-Rak 8 rackmount adapters are available separately. The LX-3 requires no power supply, due to its passive circuitry. Balanced or unbalanced signals can be used. Input connectivity is available using a combo jack, compatible with XLR or 1/4” input sources. XLR connectors are used for all outputs, the direct “Thru” jack and the two transformer-isolated outputs. Each output features a ground-lift switch, to minimize hum and buzz caused by ground loops. Split one line-level XLR or 1/4” input to three XLR outputs Ideal for complex signal routing and parallel processing Transformer-based, passive circuitry requires no power supply Low noise and low distortion High dynamic range and flat frequency response Input pad offers 12 dB of attenuation Minimize hum and buzz from ground loops via ground-lift switches for each output Sturdy and durable 14-gauge steel enclosure with no-slip pad Compatible with 500 Series racks using J-Rak adapters (available separately)
