I have been building units that switch, split and route signals with no technical compromises and with maximum musical fidelity since 1999. Your new Lehle P-Split II comprises only the very best com- ponents. Every assembly of your Lehle P-Split II has been made and tested in Germany.

Balanced signal lines are used to cross larger Preconditions for passive splitting: distances without interference. They are generally The Lehle P-Split II is a passive splitter which fitted with XLR connectors or TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) can be used to split high-impedance signals to jack plugs.

This switch can be used to invert the phase of the effect unit or DAW here. input signal from the ISO socket by 180°. Splitting The input signal is fed into this socket. The Lehle signals to two amps may sometimes cause phase P-Split II operates entirely passively. The input...

6. Base and fixing You can use the fixing screws supplied with the Lehle P-Split II to fix it to a base plate (or to a pedal board, for example). Tip: in case you prefer a velcro solution for your...
The Lehle P-Split II operates as a splitter for one instrument to two amps. Use the shortest The Lehle P-Split II as a splitter for two amps cables possible to connect instruments with passive pickups to the input of the Lehle P-Split II. Most musicians find the sound of two amplifiers working in parallel extremely powerful and simply big.
5. Use the ground lift switch to determine which position eliminates the most background noise. 6. There you go! The Lehle P-Split II can be used as a passive Note: DI box. Balanced or unbalanced signals from the The signal from a passive pickup cannot be split ISO output can be fed.
Lehle Sunday Driver is positioned between the instrument and the input of the Lehle P-Split II. The Lehle P-Split II as a line isolator – the universal cure for hum loops The Lehle P-Split II can be used in any scenario to eliminate noise resulting from ground loops or hum.
5. There you go! Note: In the above scenario, the Lehle P-Split II is grounded via the signal source input. In some cas- es, it may be a good idea to connect the ground to the other side, in order to eliminate even more interference.

We recommend the use of a buffer between the from an amp while recording the dry signal. instrument and the input of the Lehle P-Split II In this configuration, the Lehle P-Split II again to convert the high-impedance instrument signal functions as a neutral splitter.

The Lehle P-Split II as a re-amplification eliminated using the Lehle P-Split II. The built-in isolator Lehle LTHZ transformer electrically isolates the ground connections, and functions perfectly with both balanced and unbalanced signals from a soundcard or a DAW. Device connection Input (1) ...

Long distances like these should be bridged and outputs. A Lehle P-Split II can be used to using balanced lines, in order to keep interference connect these, also enabling you to separate the as low as possible.
