Behringer DS2800 Two Input Eight Output Distribution Splitter

Behringer DS2800 Two Input Eight Output Distribution Splitter

Behringer DS2800 is an audio distribution splitter designed for signal routing and distribution in commercial and professional sound systems. It enables audio engineers and system installers to route one or two input signals to multiple outputs, supporting system distribution and zone routing workflows. This makes it ideal for installed sound systems, live audio setups, and broadcast environments where reliable signal distribution is critical.

The unit operates with balanced input and output circuitry that maintains signal integrity across multiple distribution channels. Individual level controls and LED meters allow users to monitor and adjust output levels for each channel.

This architecture allows audio systems to distribute signals to multiple destinations such as amplifiers, mixers, and processing devices. It supports flexible signal routing and monitoring in both installed and live audio environments.

Key Features

• Flexible Distribution: Professional audio distribution splitter for commercial and live sound applications.
• Dual Operating Modes: Supports 2 input to 4 output or 1 input to 8 output configurations.
• Multiple Output Channels: Eight outputs each with independent level control.
• Signal Monitoring: Five segment LED meters per output indicate signal activity.
• Balanced Connectivity: Servo balanced inputs and outputs with gold plated XLR connectors.
• Low Noise Performance: Ultra low noise circuitry designed for professional audio environments.
• Signal Linking: Separate link output connectors allow signal routing to additional equipment.
• Rack Mount Design: Standard rack format suitable for professional equipment racks.
• Efficient Power Supply: Internal switch mode power supply supports 100 to 240 volt operation.
