The XTA DS800 Mic / Line Distribution System is a high
quality active distribution / splitter unit containing eight channels of
processing in 2U of rack space. Each channel features one actively balanced
input and a total of four outputs, two of which are individually actively
balanced and normally connected to Front Of House and Stage Monitor consoles.
The two remaining outputs are transformer isolated and located on the front
panel of the unit. These are typically used as broadcasting or recording feeds.
A maximum of 50dB gain is available via the five position Gain switch. This
allows sufficient gain to be applied to low level signals, such as dynamic
microphones, to avoid the poor noise performance often associated with active
mic splitters. Phantom power (48VDC) is provided, and is switchable to each
input by selecting 'Phantom Power' on the front panel. The XTA DS800 is designed to
reduce system grounding problems; please refer to the 'System Grounding'
section further on in this manual for more information.

1.Isolated Outputs – two identical transformer balanced
outputs featuring high voltage isolation, for use as broadcast or recording
feeds or wherever independent outputs are required. These connections are wired
as follows :- Pin 1 = No Connection, Pin 2 = Hot, Pin 3 = Cold. 2.As Above. 3.Gain Switch – sets the channel gain to +10dB, +20dB,
+30dB, +40dB or +50dB. See Mic/Line switch below. 4.Mic/Line – when in the ‘Line’ position the input is padded
by 20dB and the input impeadance changes to >10k Ohms. 5.48V – when selected applies 48V phantom power to the input
XLR, for condenser microphones or D.I. boxes. The LED is lit when active. 6.Meter – 5 segment level meter showing the level below
clipping. Note: the red LED lights up 6dB’s below actual clipping with a sine
wave. 7.Listen – when selected the channel will be summed on to
the ‘Solo’ bus, which is routed to the headphone socket and ‘Solo Out’ XLR. 8.Pad (-10dB) – indicates 48V phantom power detected on the
output ‘Mon’ XLR, which will automactically switch in a 10dB pad on the
channel. 9.Headphone Level – controls the level of the headphone
output. 10.Headphone Socket. 11.Power – power indicator.
