Product Description
Here's what Klark Teknik say about the DS20...
Building on KLARK TEKNIKs storied legacy of highest-quality signal processing devices, the DS 20 PRO SPLITTER 2 offers the same high headroom, dynamic response and sonic clarity you have come to expect. DS 20 is ideal for routing balanced XLR signals to multiple discrete destinations, including FOH and monitor consoles, active monitor loudspeakers, broadcast mixers, and more. A passive device, the DS 20 does not require any form of external power to complete its mission. Equipped with a custom-built MIDAS transformer, DS 20 is the perfect solution for a wide range of professional audio and multimedia applications.
MIDAS – The Legend in Sound Quality
Ever since its formation in the 1970s, MIDAS has had a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations world-wide, legendary MIDAS consoles such as the XL4 and Heritage H3000 quickly became industry standards.
MIDAS has earned their impeccable reputation due to their no-compromise approach for audio and build quality and in particular for their Award-winning products which are considered by industry experts as the industry’s best sounding designs. Building on this legacy, the XL8 and PRO Series of Live Mixing Systems continue this great heritage of Award-winning audio quality.
KLARK TEKNIK is proud to incorporate MIDAS designed transformers for the ultimate in high-quality audio reproduction in both live and studio environments. Find out more about MIDAS’ amazing legacy by visiting their extensive website.
High Headroom Design
A custom instrumentation-grade input circuit was designed for the DS 20 using advanced analogue design techniques to create the ideal input impedance match. This innovative approach provides an ultra low noise and ultra-linear system with a ruler-flat frequency response that ranges from 30 Hz to 45 kHz (±3 dB).
Connectivity & More
All of the Input and Output connections on the DS 20 feature genuine high quality Neutrik* XLR jacks for the ultimate in signal integrity. Dual independent Earth Lift switches are provided for both the Output A and Output B jacks, eliminating earth loops between equipment on different mains electricity supplies. DS 20’s fully transformer-isolated design further ensures pristine performance – even in large-scale production environments.
Compact & Rugged Construction
The ultra-compact DS 20 is built to handle the rigours of life on the road via a thick and rugged aluminium extrusion that protects the electronics. The enclosure’s roadworthiness is further enhanced through the implementation of sturdy rubber corner bumpers.
Versatility
The DS 20 PRO SPLITTER 2 allows you to send identical copies of balanced input signals to multiple discrete destinations thanks to its incredible frequency response of 30 Hz to 45 kHz (±3 dB), MIDAS custom-design transformer for the ultimate in signal integrity and galvanic isolation, and highly intuitive design – all in a road-ready enclosure that stands ready for your input.
