Pro Co Sound MS-42A Overview

The MS-42A from Pro-Co is a rack-mountable four-channel microphone splitter that splits four low-impedance microphone signals into two outputs, allowing two mic preamps to be fed from one source. The MS-42A is ideal for use in stage monitor systems where an on-stage mixer is used or in recording applications where PA system microphones must also go to a recording mixer. MBT-1 transformers in the MS-42A provide protection against interference and offer low-impedance outputs with a wide frequency response and low distortion. Ground-lift switches combined with these transformers provide buzz-free operation in practically every environment.

The MS-42A uses standard 3-pin XLR connectors for quick and easy hookup with your system. A rugged steel and aluminum Uni-box(TM) construction provides long-lasting durability. For quality audio and construction in a rack-mountable design, the MS-42A is a great choice.

Does phantom power pass thru this without issue ...

Does phantom power pass thru this without issue from the input to the direct out?
Asked by: jonathan
My guess is if you turn on phantom on one mic pre only, it ought to work... (Phantom power comes from a mic pre, connected to one of the 2 outputs) Contact Pro Co to confirm: Pro Co Sound Tel: 800-253-7360 or 269-388-9675 Website http://www.procosound.com/ Email [email protected] https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/393443-REG/Pro_Co_Sound_MS42A_MS_42A_4_Channel_Microphone.html/specs
