Galaxy Audio JIB/Y Reviews

Works perfectly, and nice size

I use this for sending a signal from a mic into two cameras on multicam shoots. It works like a charm, and is built like a tank.

Perfect passive mic splitter

I needed a quick foolproof way to split a mic to feed two cameras. This worked perfectly! No noticeable drop in the level, no buzz. Nice solid construction, seems well made, and a good value.

See any errors on this page?

question

Does this also work to split the line level connection coming from a sound board so I can feed two cameras?
Asked by: Jake
The manufacturer of the JIB/Y, Galaxy Audio, does not recommend it be used to split a line level signal. Alternatively, you may consider the Whirlwind LBS; B&H# WHLBS.

what advantage does this have over a Y cable?

what advantage does this have over a Y cable?
Asked by: Tony
The construction of the box is more solid and wiring on the box is internal so it's protected from breakage and more durable than a basic Y-cable. Additionally, the JIB/Y also has phantom block circuitry that prevents phantom power from coming back into the splitter from the equipment the box is connected to. Phantom power can damage certain microphones so the JIB/Y offers protection from damage that can be caused by phantom power.

Well this product seems very interesting, I have ...

Well this product seems very interesting, I have a doubt to be cleared. I am planning to record from a microphone to two different recorder. Both of them have Phantom power. Will I be able to block phantom power to one recorder and supply phantom from only one providing to microphone as shown in the picture? Will the audio Quality will be the same. Actually one is recording with full effects and eq and another one is for just RAW vocal as backup and further processing if needed.
Asked by: Santu
The only recorder that the phantom should be on is the one the mic is plugged into. Then feed the other recorder with the phantom block output.

Do I need a splitter to convert one microphone ...

Do I need a splitter to convert one microphone input into a two microphone amplifier input?
Asked by: Robert
Yes, you would need a splitter like this, just make sure you have enough mic cables (3) to make all the connections.

question

Does the signal come out in stereo?
Asked by: Mahalia L.
No, this is a mono input to two mono outputs... its a splitter. The primary purpose is to isolate phantom power from a mixer, which it does. Ideally it would also break ground loops, which it doesn't.

question

If I plug a phantom power mic into the input and the mic is receiving phantom power from a pre-amp on the other side of the unit through output 1, will the signal of output 2 be the same level as output one? In other words, both outputs would be outputting an identical line level as the mic is already getting its power from output one? Thank you.
Asked by: colin h.
No, the signal is mono, although you could run them though a mixer or processor, add some effects such as a digital delay unit and try to create a stereo effect. It might accomplish what you are shooting for, but would still not be true stereo. It is just a duplicate output of the original input..
