XLR Splitter Impedance Matching - Worth It? in c/diy

[–] LemmyPlay@lemmings.world 1 points 10 months ago

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.

XLR Splitter Impedance Matching - Worth It? (lemmings.world)

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.

I hate when anyone tries to cute-ify software. Get your sad face outta here and fix this trash codebase.

Israel Furious that Elderly Captive Spoke of Humane Treatment by Hamas in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

If you were a political group taking hostages and facing severe backlash, it would be to your advantage to treat the ones you plan to release very well for PR credit. Especially after a violent massacre of innocent civilians when you badly need positive perception. Additionally, releasing older women seems like an easy choice, since society will see you as having a conscience since they are one group of weaker members.

But this isn't such a significant moment. The sobering reality is the elderly have less utility as hostages, so it's no loss from the Hamas side. We also know that during her abduction the treatment wasn't all positive. And without information on the status and treatment of the other 200, which based on human history I can assume doesn't perfectly follow the story here, this release means very little from the larger view.
