Frequently Asked Questions - S8-3WAY ART

What is the purpose of the ART S8-3WAY?
The ART S8-3WAY is a passive crossover that splits an audio signal into three frequency bands: low, mid, and high, for use in a 3-way speaker system.
What impedance should the speakers be?
The crossover is designed for 8 ohm speakers per channel. Using lower impedance may cause overheating or damage.
How do I connect the S8-3WAY?
Connect the amplifier output to the Input terminal, then connect the low-frequency driver to the Low output, mid-range to Mid, and tweeter to High. Ensure polarity is consistent.
What are the crossover frequencies?
Typical crossover points are 500 Hz (low-mid) and 3.5 kHz (mid-high), but these may vary by model. Check your unit's markings.
Can I use this crossover with a subwoofer?
This is a 3-way crossover for full-range systems. For a subwoofer, you would need a dedicated low-pass filter or a separate subwoofer crossover.
Is the S8-3WAY active or passive?
It is passive, meaning it does not require external power. It uses capacitors, inductors, and resistors to filter the signal.
What is the power handling of the crossover?
The estimated power handling is 200W RMS per channel, but always stay within the limits of your speakers and amplifier.
How do I clean the crossover?
Use a soft dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid liquids or abrasive cleaners. Keep the vents unobstructed.
Can I mount it in a rack?
Yes, the S8-3WAY is rack-mountable in a standard 19-inch rack, taking up 1U of space. Use the included rack ears.
What should I do if the crossover gets hot?
Passive crossovers can warm up under heavy load. Ensure adequate ventilation and do not exceed the power rating. If excessively hot, reduce volume or check for short circuits.

INTRODUCTION

S8-3WAY eight channel three way microphone splitter is ideal for live sound, fixed install, recording, and broadcast applications where microphone and XLR balanced line level input signals have to go to multiple mix locations.

Each channel provides one XLR input, one XLR direct output, with two additional transformer isolated XLR outputs for a total of 3 balanced outputs from each microphone input signal.

Typical uses would include sending 8 direct signals through the S8-3WAY to a main or FOH (Front Of House) mixer, with additional isolated feeds going to a monitor mix station, remote recording desk, or broadcast feed. The direct outputs pass phantom power from the main mixer to the microphones for use with condenser microphones.

Features

• The same high quality musical sounding transformer design used in the popular ART S8
- XLR input, one XLR direct output, with two additional transformer isolated XLR outputs
• High quality passive interface
• 19-inch 1U-high rack mount with rugged, fully shielded black all-steel enclosure
- Reversible rack ears for added system flexibility
• Three year warranty

USING THE MICROPHONE SPLITTER

Connect low impedance dynamic or condenser microphone to any MICROPHONE INPUT on the S8-3WAY.

Connect corresponding DIRECT MICROPHONE OUTPUT to mic input on main mixer (switch phantom power on at mixer if desired).

Connect corresponding TRANSFORMER ISOLATED MICROPHONE OUTPUT 1 to mic input on secondary mixer or recording system.

Connect corresponding TRANSFORMER ISOLATED MICROPHONE OUTPUT 2 to mic input on third mixer or recording system.

NOTE: The chassis ground connects to the Channel One input ground only, in order to reduce the possibility of channel crosstalk through chassis ground. To provide the noise-shielding benefit of the chassis enclosure when the S8 is not mounted in a grounded rack system, be sure to use the Channel One input when using fewer than eight channel input connections.
