I am not sure. I want to keep the signal clean for live playing (avoiding interference, ground loop buzz, etc). I don't need studio level noise reduction but also I want to maintain signal fidelity to a reasonable degree so that there's no tone bottlenecks in my already expensive rig. Because I am an audiophile I am okay investing within reason to avoid unnecessary harmonic loss.

Part of my motivation for this splitter was that it had direct pass through on one out and a ground lift switch on the other two. I want more control over my output just in case the FOH hardware has something funky happening. I know Y-cables are another option but I got the splitter used for a lower price than Y so it was a no brainier. Getting/modding a second one is the next consideration.

Hi all. I'm splitting 2 XLR line level audio signals into 3 channels each. I bought one nice device (used) online called the Whirlwind SPL1x3LL (line level). Unfortunately I can't find another used one for a decent price. However there are plenty of mic impedance matched units, SPL1x3MIC which according to the manufacturer are identical except the impedance difference. I'm good at soldering and the devices are fully analog (no PCB), so I'm considering doing the conversion myself.

I was curious what it would likely take to convert the mic box to a line level box? Is it just a matter of adding a resistor somewhere? Seems like an easy way to save $100 without buying a brand new unit. I looked into my line level box and the is one component I don't recognize where the out signals split away from. My only hesitation is that I buy the device and end up needing a specific part or it turns into a larger job than anticipated. Just figured I'd entertain the idea before buying brand new. Thanks.

Totally agreed. "Let's describe her physical appearance multiple times in detail while only mildly blurring her photos" Seems like they are reaching for content.

Whoa, DacoTaco themself! I instantly recognized your name from the homebrewing fun I had with it last year. Thank you for all of you efforts on the WiiU!

If I had more time I'd love to have contributed to homebrew software but I'm just glad you've been able to make the sacrifice for the rest of us. In an increasingly corporate video game world where extracting the last penny is prioritized over the passion of the fans, it's people like you that keep that magic feeling, that sparked our interest in the first place, alive.

Speaking from experience, Zooz products have been very poor quality for me and not worth the trouble. I put those switches all throughout my house and now I'm having to replace them, one by one, to due to random failures or unreliable performance. I used a Zooz switch for an outdoor outlet (switch was indoors) and the thing stopped working but support wouldn't do anything because it's not a light, it's going to an outlet. I supported them during their initial product launch, warrantied a lot of switches which helped their R&D, but customer support has 0 sympathy for me now that the warranty is over (they even disregarded the extended warranty they promised me). After all the work I've had to do tearing my outlets apart to replace their switches, it's just not worth it. I wish I would've gone with a more expensive brand the first time, I would have saved a lot. If it's not too late, I recommend looking beyond them.

Hadn't seen this before, and it's for the new album. It's great to hear her vocal technique in a natural recording.

Please read the words 'too often' in my post to realize you've just provided supporting evidence for my claim.

How would you stop bagging? Detect if someone brakes when moving to a lower place vs getting hit with items? That's a bold change.

Proximity really makes friendships better, and at least easier. Some of the best memories are made on a whim. And even with the busiest people you can have a better chance of seeing them with a spontaneous text versus a long-term plan.

There's too much truth to this, I swear I was less biased at one point. But Apple users are too often the type to scoff at data privacy, use the magical cloud for everything, know nothing about how to troubleshoot issues, pay to have XY&Z done for them regardless of how simple it is, and especially eat up all the Apple propaganda (like Android MMS being compressed to hell, which made them believe Android cameras are terrible). It's a perfect designer phone for a wannabe designer lifestyle.
