Dynamic or condenser mics can be used since phantom power comes through the Mic Thru jack from the mixer or other source. Dual headphone jacks.

ART SplitCOM Mic Splitter/Combiner

Say you are running 2 mixers at once perhaps one for the monitor system and one for the main PA (or one for a broadcast feed and one for the PA). If a performer wants his/her mic split into a powered monitor and the PA, you will need the ability to split the signal from the source so that the signal can go both ways. It is also important that the output of the source encounters the right impedance. If you simply used a Y adapter, signal strength and quality would be lost. For this reason, the SplitCOM professional splitter has a built-in transformer. Since you may be splitting the balanced output of an instrument amp or preamp, another consideration is hum caused by a ground loop. The SplitCOM splitter box also features a ground lift switch to reduce that problem.

ART PDB Passive Direct Box

The PDB is a roadworthy DI for connecting electric instruments and other audio outputs to the balanced inputs of mixers and other balanced inputs. It allows connection to an instrument amp while simultaneously patching it to a mixer. The PDB translates high-impedance signals from instruments into low-impedance balanced signals required by mixers. It also automatically balances and matches line level outputs of keyboards. If you're using a multiple keyboard setup and your keyboards are all plugged into a single amplifier, the PDB can replace individual direct boxes. Simply send the output of the instrument amplifier to the PDB and then to the console (instead of a separate DI box for each keyboard). DJ mixers often supply only an unbalanced 10dB signal. The PDB converts this signal to a balanced line level signal before it reaches the console, while providing a convenient method of connector transition with the capability to run long cables. It also accepts speaker level inputs from a power amp allowing post-amplifier, post-EQ, and effects signals to be fed directly to the console.

ART Phantom l Active Direct Box

The Phantom I serves a multitude of needs in the studio and onstage: Problem: You need to connect an amplifier's speaker output to the mic input on a mixer.Solution: Connect a Phantom I between the speaker output and a mic input with phantom power on the mixer, then set the attenuation switch to 40dB.Problem: Your PA is humming because there is a ground loop between a signal source and the mixer.Solution: Connect a Phantom I between the signal source and a mic input with phantom power and set the ground switch to Lift. Problem: You need to connect an unbalanced line-level source (i.e., a synthesizer, another mixer, an effects device, etc.) to a mic input on the mixer. Solution: Connect a Phantom I between the source and a mic input with phantom power and set the Attenuator switch to 20dB.The Phantom I is not a phantom power supply, it is an active direct box that operates on phantom power.

ART HeadTap Headphone Amp

Sometimes floor monitors are a problem. There isn't enough room for them onstage or someone sits in and can't hear the monitors, or the drummer can't hear them well enough. Or perhaps it's a pickup gig or a rehearsal and you didn't have enough time to set them up. In any case, sometimes it's preferable to just to put on headphones and somehow connect them to the PA. That's where a headphone tap comes in. This is a passive device with an input to connect the PA or monitor amplifier and an output to connect the headphones. A volume control regulates the headphone output and internal resistors keep the unit's impedance high enough to protect the phones. It also protects the amplifier from encountering too low a load impedance while powering tap units, the speaker system, or several tap units by themselves. The HeadTAP will also work with a stereo headphone amplifier for use in recording situations when you want to add headphones for additional performers.

ART CleanBox II Passive Hum Eliminator

Hum in an audio system is often caused by loop effects which act like antennas. These loops can easily pick up a 60Hz (or higher harmonics) hum transmitted by electrical wiring. Typically, these loops are connected via grounds, more commonly called "ground loops. The safest way to eliminate unwanted noise is with the CleanBOX II. Here are some common examples of ground loops: The power ground of a synthesizer, connected to the signal ground of the synth, into a mixer's ground, then into a mixer's power ground. The signal ground of a send effect (reverb, delay) into a mixer, and the connecting power grounds of the mixer and the unit. The power ground of a guitar amplifier, connected to a signal processor which has a second guitar amplifier on the other channel, and then the second guitar amp's power ground.All such common ground loop problems are solved by the CleanBox II.

ART CableCOP Cable Detective Tester

The ART CableCOP Cable Detective lets you test cables and tell at a glance which ones are defective. Works with mic cables and patch cords with 2 or 3 conductors, instrument cables with 2 conductors, basic speaker cables with 2 conductors and MIDI cables comprised of DIN5 connectors using 2 conductors. The CableCOP features a full selection of standard pro audio connectors for testing all such cables. LEDs on the CableCOP link its various connector terminals and will only illuminate when the connected cable completes a circuit. As a result you're able to tell immediately which cables need to be repaired. Sometimes the problem can be the cable itself. An LED may also fail to illuminate if a 3-conductor cable has been wired out-of-phase.

ART Phantom III Phantom Power Supply

The ART Phantom III Phantom Power Supply provides 48V of phantom power. Different condenser microphones specify different amounts of required phantom power. As a rule, these ratings can range from 48 volts all the way down to 9 volts. Fortunately there is some flexibility in terms of matching phantom voltage to your mic. A rough rule of thumb would be "more is better. For example, a 24-volt condenser mic will run perfectly on 48 volts. In fact, mics rated at as little as 9 volts can often operate on 48 volts, but you should check with the manufacturer first. Conversely, a mic will generally perform best driven by not less than its rated voltage so, for a 48V mic, you would obtain the best results with 48 volts of phantom power. The ART Phantom III is a great choice for the above needs.
