t.racks DS2418
M. Racz 23.07.2014
I needed a simple solution to drive 3 pairs of studio monitors without much hassle and the t.racks DS2418 gave me exactly that. It takes up only 1U in the rack, has an IEC connector (kettle lead) for power, and XLR inputs and outputs for audio.

After opening the box I was surprised that the device is lot heavier than expected, but I quickly realized why. It is built like a tank, and judging by the weight I would say there is a decent power supply inside, which is also supported by the fact that I could not hear any signal coloring or degradation, the unit sounds completely transparent.

Setting up things couldn't be any easier, I just plugged my audio interface directly into the DS2418, plugged in the speakers, selected the 2x4 configuration for stereo distribution, then matched the gain of the different speakers with the little dials on the front panel and I was ready to work. The only thing I'm missing is a mute button for each channel which would be handy for A/B/C/D switching between speakers.

Overall, I'm very happy with the DS2418, it is a sturdy and reliable piece of kit that solves a specific problem very well in my studio.

Audio splitter
Foxpop engineer 11.04.2020
Vindt maar es een heel eenvoudige goeie Audio splitter om van 1 mixer naar verschillende eindversterkers te gaan zonder kwaliteit verlies.Deze heeft het allemaal in een heel stevig metalen behuizing. Onmisbaar als je 'on the road' naar bv .een al staande p.a. en meerdere eindversterkers ermee tegelijk wilt aansturen, elk apart regelbaar. Ongelofelijke lage aankoopprijs! Hebbeding .... no surprises!

Surprisingly good

For that price, you're getting a splitter that can split a stereo feed in 4 stereo feeds, or 1 mono feed in 8. It's installed for 3 months already in our club to handle the recording and sound-to-light, and it's working flawlessly. Can't hear any hum or noise. For that price, you won't get anything better.

It has done it's job for many months and I have no complaints at all, it is as if it does not exists on my setup and I never turn it off and it does not produce any noticeable heat. Need one Pick one! :)

Use 2 of these to split sound from our crossover to all amplifiers. Sound quality is amazing - no distortion at all.

Nice splitter
Arno Artonomy 04.09.2019
I am using it to connect the sound card with monitors and loudspeakers, so i can test the sound on 2 different outputs.
Pros: Does what it is supposed to do. Detachable AC cable. All metal and feels sturdy.
Cons: knobs are too small to comfortably use them and the absence of lighting makes it hard to see at what position they are set.
