S split Introduction and Features
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the S split by Samson Audio! The S split is a one-
by-three microphone splitter featuring a direct microphone through output, along with two
transformer isolated microphone outputs. The S split is a perfect solution for applications
where three sends from the same microphone are needed such as with a live recording
situation where a second feed is needed for connecting to a monitor mix console, and a
third to connect to a mic pre or recording console. Whatever your exact situation, the S
split will provide high quality and reliable performance thanks to its solid build construction
based around the extruded aluminum chassis and oversized rubber bumper feet.
In this manual, youʼll find a more detailed description of the features of the S split, as well
as a guided tour through the front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for using the
S split, and full specifications. Youʼll also find a warranty card enclosed—please donʼt for-
get to fill it out and mail it so that you can receive online technical support and so we can
send you updated information about other Samson products in the future.

Operating the S split
Setting Up the S split
The basic procedure for setting up and using your S split is simple and takes only a few
minutes. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service).
There are many different ways to use the S split, however the basic connection is the
same in most installations and applications. The following example details the connection
for a microphone to a main PA mixer and also, to a separate monitor mixer, and a record-
ing console. Follow these simple steps to get connected.
• Using a standard XLR microphone cable, connect the your mic to the S splitʼs
BALANCED INPUT.
• Using another standard mic cable, connect the DIRECT OUTPUT to the main PA
mixer or stage box.
• Now, using another standard mic cable, connect the ISOLATED OUTPUT 1 to the
recording or monitor mix console.
• Finally, using another standard mic cable, connect the ISOLATED OUTPUT 2 to the
recording or monitor mix console.
Typical Set-up
The diagram below shows a typical set-up for live sound and recording, where the signal
from one microphone is split and sent to a recorder (with mic-pre input), a monitor mixer
and to the main front-of-house mixer.
