Behringer DS20 Passive 1-In/ 2-Out Splitter Box

Transformer-isolated outputs are the defining feature of this passive signal splitter from Behringer's Pro Splitter Series, designed to send one microphone or line signal to two destinations without ground loops or crosstalk. The DS20 routes your signal to FOH and monitor desks, dual recording feeds, or any configuration requiring clean signal multiplication with complete electrical separation. No active electronics means no power supply, no phantom requirements, and no failure points in the signal path. Built around a custom Midas transformer, the unit maintains high headroom and ultra-low noise performance whether splitting vocal mics or instrument lines.

Each output features its own earth lift switch, allowing independent ground loop elimination per destination–critical when splitting between systems with different electrical configurations. The passive, transformer-balanced architecture delivers ultra-linear frequency response across the entire audio spectrum without colouration or phase distortion. Housed in an aluminium extrusion chassis with protective rubber corners, the DS20 withstands the rigours of road use while maintaining a compact footprint that fits easily into crowded stage boxes or equipment racks.
