Passive Splitter Klark Teknik DS 50 5-channel

Passive Splitter Klark Teknik DS 50 5-channel is a passive audio distribution unit that splits a single input signal to five isolated outputs without requiring power. Designed for situations where passive splitting is preferred, the unit offers a simple and reliable method to distribute line-level signals for monitoring, multi-zone distribution or parallel feeds to different devices while maintaining signal integrity through transformer isolation.

Advantages

The passive design eliminates the need for external power, reducing installation complexity and potential points of failure. Transformer isolation on outputs minimizes ground loop hum and provides separation between connected devices. Compact mechanical design and clear input/output routing make the unit easy to integrate into live sound rigs, studio setups or fixed installations where a single source must feed multiple destinations.

Suitable for

• Live sound setups requiring multiple feeds from one source
• Studio monitoring where a single output must be routed to several monitors or processors
• Fixed installations and multi-room audio distribution
• Temporary event rigs and rehearsal spaces needing quick signal splitting

Key specifications

• Passive splitter topology with one input and five outputs
• Transformer-isolated outputs to reduce ground loop noise
• Suitable for line-level audio signals
• Robust, compact chassis for rack or stage use
• Balanced input and outputs (where applicable) for improved noise rejection

How to use

Connect the source device to the input using an appropriate balanced or unbalanced cable. Route each of the five outputs to the destination devices using cables that match the input type of those devices. No power connection is required. Verify levels at each destination and, if necessary, adjust source output level to avoid clipping. Ground lift or isolation features (if present) can be used to address hum or buzz during testing.
