Split a balanced XLR signal to two outputs (plus one Thru output) with the Klark Teknik DS-20 Pro Splitter 2. This road-worthy passive box requires no power.

Building on Klark Teknik's storied legacy of highest-quality signal processing devices, the DS-20 Pro Splitter 2 offers the same high headroom, dynamic response and sonic clarity you have come to expect. DS-20 is ideal for routing balanced XLR signals to multiple discrete destinations, including FOH and monitor consoles, active monitor loudspeakers, broadcast mixers, and more. A passive device, the DS-20 does not require any form of external power to complete its mission. Equipped with a custom-built MIDAS transformer, DS 20 is the perfect solution for a wide range of professional audio and multimedia applications.

MIDAS - The Legend in Sound Quality

Ever since its formation in the 1970s, MIDAS has had a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations world-wide, legendary MIDAS consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage H3000 quickly became industry standards.

High Headroom Design

A custom instrumentation-grade input circuit was designed for the DS 20 using advanced analogue design techniques to create the ideal input impedance match. This innovative approach provides an ultra-low noise and ultra-linear system with a ruler-flat frequency response that ranges from 30 Hz to 45 kHz (±3 dB).

Connectivity & More

All of the Input and Output connections on the DS-20 feature genuine high quality Neutrik XLR jacks for the ultimate in signal integrity. Dual independent Earth Lift read more switches are provided for both the Output A and Output B jacks, eliminating earth loops between equipment on different mains electricity supplies. DS-20's fully transformer-isolated design further ensures pristine performance - even in large-scale production environments.

Compact & Rugged Construction

The ultra-compact DS 20 is built to handle the rigours of life on the road via a thick and rugged aluminium extrusion that protects the electronics. The enclosure's roadworthiness is further enhanced through the implementation of sturdy rubber corner bumpers.

this product is a great idea but I will tell you now. I bought this to split my Sennheiser wireless system to my in-ear system and still be able to send it to the front of the house. someone finally told me hey your mic sounds like it has insane amounts of high-end and tin sound and no low end. So I finally hit up my sound man and asked him what he does to my mics eq and he told me it's strange I have to remove all the high end and add a lot of low-end to fix it. I hooked up my wireless system to my recording studio to sound check the before and after of the sound of this product and when I am not using the klank it sounds huge and thick. I plugged it into the klank and recorded and it is awful!!!! no low-end and a horrid tin sound. do not buy this overpriced junk.
