12. Application Guide
when not needed, re-clocking can introduce small additional amounts of latency. (Re-clocking also can
interfere with surround-sound encoders, but this is rarely a concern in live sound applications.)
12.5.4.2 Passive splitters
In some limited applications, a single AES/EBU input may be split into two signals using a simple passive
splitter. Splitters provide a convenient and low cost solution when only one additional signal is required, and
in situations where cable lengths are short. Attenuation is minimal, but there is no "refreshing" of the signal.
