Behringer DS2800 Overview

The Behringer DS2800 is an active 2-input/8-output line-signal splitter well suited for use in project studios and commercial venues such as bars and restaurants. The unit's two line-input channels and eight line-output channels all feature servo-balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors to ensure high signal integrity and ultralow noise. Each output channel features an independent front-panel level control with 5-segment metering for instant visual feedback.
Dual-Mode Operation
  • The versatile DS2800 offers two modes: the 2-input/4-output mode splits a single stereo input signal into 4 stereo output channels (great for routing a mixer output to multiple studio monitors), while the 1-input/8-output mode routs a single mono input to all 8 channels (perfect for routing music to multiple speakers in a commercial space).
  • Two XLR Link outputs mirror the inputs, allowing you to easily link multiple DS2800 units together for larger spaces or multiple rooms.
Ready for Studios and Commercial Venues
  • In the recording studio, monitoring options are crucial for the performers as well as the engineers, so DS2800's 2-In / 4 Out mode makes it easy to switch between various loudspeaker and headphone systems.
  • For applications such as restaurants and the like, running separate zones lets you set individual volume levels to better suit the needs of your clientele.
  • The Mode selection switch is located on the rear panel and LED indicators on the front let you know which mode has been selected.
Ultralow Noise
  • The DS2800's XLR line inputs feature ultralow-noise op-amps for pristine sonic performance.
  • In addition to the inputs, Link Output XLR sockets are provided for cascading additional DS2800 devices, so your system can grow as needs change.
  • All XLR input and output connectors are gold plated for outstanding signal integrity.
8 Outputs
  • Each of the 8 outputs on the DS2800 comes with its own level control.
  • In addition, a 5-segment LED meter lets you see where signal is present and instantly set the ideal volume for each zone without the slightest hint of distortion.
  • The DS2800 makes it easy to keep track of what is going on throughout your system at a glance.

See any errors on this page?

This indicates it is accommodates line level ...

This indicates it is accommodates line level signals, can you use it to split a microphone level signal?
Asked by: Tony
The Behringer DS2800 2-In/8-Out Distribution Splitter is designed specifically for line-level signals, not microphone-level signals.
