River Series 2-Channel Line Splitter Passive
Product Information
The River Series 2-Channel Line-Splitter is a passive device designed for splitting audio signals from a single source to two separate outputs. The product is manufactured by Peene and is available in multiple languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Polish. The product comes with a user manual that provides detailed instructions on usage and technical specifications.
Product Usage Instructions
To use the River Series 2-Channel Line-Splitter, follow these steps:
- Connect the audio source to the input of the Line-Splitter using a suitable cable.
- Connect the two outputs of the Line-Splitter to the desired destination devices using suitable cables.
- Refer to the user manual for guidance on the correct cable types and connections for your specific use case.
- Use the Line-Splitter to split the audio signal from the source to multiple destinations without any loss of quality or signal strength.
Please note that the Line-Splitter is passive and does not require any external power source. Also, refer to the user manual for technical specifications including input and output impedance, frequency response, and signal-to-noise ratio.
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 kilometers
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).
