Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how do you adjust the amps so you get good signal, but produce less heat?

A: This unit does give you the ability to adjust the gain and slope to the proper settings for your situation. Blonder Tongue also sells optional plug-in fixed attenuator and equalizers for input signal conditioning, which you can purchase from them: http://bit.ly/1iV8xC4

Q: 2. Can the mixer be used with a tentacle sync device? I will be pairing with a Panasonic S5 and Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic

A: Yes, you can use the Kopul CMCS-1 Passive 3.5mm Microphone Combiner/Splitter to connect the Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Microphone and a Tentacle Sync timecode generator to the Panasonic Lumix S5 Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 3. what purpose is the power input and power output?

A: The PA411 not only distributes the RF from the antenna but also power to additional PSM transmitters. It will cut down on the amount of power suppiles needed in the rack.

Q: 4. Will the mixer introduced latency?

A: No, the Kopul CMCS-1 Passive 3.5mm Microphone Combiner/Splitter should not introduce any latency to the signal chain.

Q: 5. I do high school basketball play by play with an Irigpro. Can this ART SPLITCOM Pro be used to add another Mic for a second announcer doing commentary during pauses in my play by play while still running both mics through the iRigPro?? What does this do to the sound quality? We use the MIXLR app to do all our basketball games. Thanks, Jay

A: The ART SPLITCom Pro Microphone Splitter/Combiner can be used as desired to combine two microphones into one output signal. It will not allow for individual level control of each microphone however. For a solution that does allow level control, a small mixer such as BH #ARUSBMIX4 would be suitable.

Q: 6. which norm handles? pal-B/G pal-N or NTSC? thanks.

A: The Blonder Tongue CATV Channelized Audio/Video Modulator with SAW Filtering SAW is NTSC only.

Q: 7. Can I connect my pioneer dj900 nexus mixer and Yamaha O1V mixer on 2 RDL-10 K, before entering the audio processorOr should I use the RDL-600? Better!?

A: We usually use these for summing stereo signals to mono. Very handy!The STD-10K is designed for combining or distributing consumer level audio signals, which often use RCA connectors (like DVD players, CD players, etc). The STD-600 is designed with the proper resistance for professional audio equipment, which typically uses XLR or TRS connectors.That DJ mixer has both types of outputs, but using the XLR outputs to match what the Yamaha is outputting is your best bet. Then they'll both be a good match for an STD-600. The device the signal is going to should also have a professional type input.I think the RDL product sheet has some example diagrams for dealing with a variety of balanced and unbalanced connections.

Q: 8. Can this be used to split one phantom-powered mic into 2 tracks on an audio recorder for a low safety track?

A: Yes, you can use the ART SPLITCom Pro Microphone Splitter/Combiner to split the power on a phantom powered mic.

Q: 9. Can the mixer be used with a tentacle sync device?

A: It depends on what type of device you will be using the Kopul CMCS-1 Passive 3.5mm Microphone Combiner/Splitter with and whether or not it accepts timecode.

Q: 10. Is there a way to take the hdmi out from my computer and send it down the cable in my home. It looks like the Blonder Tongue CATV Channelized Audio/Video Modulator with SAW Filtering (Channels 37-94, 100-135) will send the signal down the cable but how can I get the hdmi in?

A: HDMI won't go directly in; the modulator accepts standard video in. There are converters that will down sample and convert your hdmi to standard video.Note that the converter sends the video out through RCA connectors and the modulator accepts video in via f-type connectors. I used something like these (though they were in stock when I purchased them) -hth

[5.55 lb] A must-have if you have 3-4 PSM300s. I got to combine the antennas and power all my units from one power source freeing up more power for other units in our rack. Works perfect. 5

[5.55 lb] Works great. Love it 5

[1 RU] I haven't checked the response curve, but it sounds clean and natural on all normal programs I have used. It's true that all small transformers like this one can saturate somewhere between 20Hz and a 100Hz, especially on line level signals. But the effect would be progressive the lower Hz you go, and the harmonics produced would be even, so some people might find it pleasant. The cool thing about this is how solid it is built, no batteries, multiple ins and outs, and it's light weight and compact for gear bags to go. It solves problems. 5

[5.55 lb] I have 4 PSM300 and this works fantastic for streamlining the set up in my rack. It's not cheap solution to eliminate 3 power supplies and 3 antennas but in my case I consider it well worth it. 5

[5.55 lb] I use these to split my mics between a monitor mixer and the front of house mixer. These small boxes are made in the USA and built like a tank. They do their job well without coloring the sound and also double as a mic combiner in those situations when you have run out of mic channels on the board. I have a few Rolls boxes in my toolkit and they are solid and dependable little problem solvers. 5

[1 RU] Once again B&H has helped in a pinch. It's surprising how many times we have needed a hard-to-find niche item, and B&H has it in stock. This particular item wasn't available anywhere, literally the only place online that had it. Easy portal process for ordering, and delivery is always fast and on time. 5
