Palmer peene 2 Channel Passive Line Splitter
Product Information
The River Series 2-Kanal Line-Splitter passiv is a passive line splitter that allows you to split a single audio signal into two separate outputs, with no loss of signal quality. The product is designed and manufactured by Peene and is part of the River Series product line. It comes with a user manual that provides instructions on how to use the product.
Specifications
- Channels: 2
- Type: Passive
- Manufacturer: Peene
Product Usage Instructions
To use the River Series 2-Kanal Line-Splitter passiv, follow these steps:
Step 1: Connect the Inputs
Connect the audio source to the input jacks on the Line-Splitter. The audio source can be any device that has a standard audio output, such as a mixer, computer, or mobile device.
Step 2: Connect the Outputs
Connect the output jacks on the Line-Splitter to your audio equipment, such as speakers, amplifiers, or other devices. The Line-Splitter has four output jacks, labeled 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B. Each output jack corresponds to one of the two input channels.
Step 3: Adjust the Volume
Adjust the volume on your audio equipment as needed. The Line-Splitter does not have its own volume control.
Step 4: Verify the Connections
Verify that all connections are secure and that your audio equipment is receiving a signal. If you are not getting a signal, check your connections and adjust the volume on your audio equipment.
By following these steps, you can use the River Series 2-Kanal Line-Splitter passiv to split a single audio signal into two separate outputs.
Let your signals flow, naturally and powerfully like a river! The River Series
embodies this claim down to the last detail: featuring high-precision
circuits, designed by our award-winning engineers to ensure your sound reaches
its destination – the hearts of your listeners.
That’s exactly what Palmer® stands for. We have been manufacturing audio tools
for professional use on stage, in broadcasting and in the studio since 1980.
Musicians and sound engineers around the world value our solutions developed
in Germany for their unhindered signal flow and pure sound – as crystal clear
and vibrant as water! So what was more logical than naming the River Series
models after German rivers?
On the map of Germany you can see where the Peene flows: 138 kilometres
through Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Thank you for purchasing the peene! We
hope you enjoy this piece of German engineering.
Be true to your sound!
Yours, the Palmer Team

INTRODUCTION
A line splitter is used when a signal source is to be split to several outputs, for example to control several power amplifiers or active speakers in different rooms. By using generously dimensioned isolating transformers, the sound remains unaffected, but hum loops are safely excluded.
CONNECTIONS AND OPERATING ELEMENTS
-
INPUT 1 / INPUT 2
Balanced line inputs with female 3-pin XLR sockets for channel 1 and 2. -
THRU 1 / THRU 2
Balanced line outputs with male 3-pin XLR connectors. THRU 1 is wired directly to INPUT 1 and THRU 2 is wired directly to INPUT 2. -
OUTPUT 1A / 1B
Balanced line outputs with male 3-pin XLR sockets for channel 1. Output A and output B are each decoupled from the line input by the use of high-quality isolating transformers. Use balanced audio cables (e.g. microphone cables) to connect the line splitter to a balanced input of a power amplifier or similar. -
OUTPUT 2A / 2B
Balanced line outputs with male 3-pin XLR sockets for channel 2. Output A and output B are each decoupled from the line input by the use of high-quality isolating transformers. Use balanced audio cables (e.g. microphone cables) to connect the line splitter to a balanced input of a power amplifier or similar. -
LIFT / GND
Switch for disconnecting the ground connection of the inputs and outputs (ground lift). In the non-pressed position, the ground connection is disconnected; the connection is established when the switch is pressed. The ability to prevent a humming loop using the ground lift switch depends on the grounding of the connected device. It is therefore possible that the switch is able to effectively reduce or eliminate humming when it is either up or down, depending on circumstances.
CAUTION: Connecting signal cables can cause considerable noise. Pay
attention to this, and make sure that input channels (mixer, audio interface,
etc.) are muted when plugged in. Otherwise, noise levels can cause damage.
NOTE: Strong magnetic fields can cause humming. Therefore, do not
position the line splitter near strong magnetic fields (e.g. mains
transformer).
