Introduction - Lehle P-Split II Operating Instructions Manual

The Lehle P-Split II combines passive splitting
with maximum signal fidelity. Its central element
is the Lehle LTHZ high-end transformer, which
electrically isolates the two outputs, eliminating the
possibility of ground loops. The Lehle LTHZ has
been specially designed for use with high-imped-
ance signals, but also splits low-impedance sig-
nals with zero loss of sound quality. The signal can
be picked off either balanced or unbalanced from
the ISO output. A phase inverter switch featuring
gold-plated contacts permits inversion of the input
signal phase at the ISO output, preventing phase
cancellations from impairing signal reproduction.
The classical application for the Lehle P-Split II
is splitting of an input signal to the two outputs,
enabling you to connect your instrument to two
devices, such as two amplifiers, for example, or
an amp and a mixer or recording unit (PC/DAW).
Thanks to the facility for also picking off the bal-
anced signal on the ISO output, the Lehle P-Split
II is eminently suitable for use as a high-quality
compact DI box for all types of signals. Another
useful application for the Lehle P-Split II is as an
effective suppressor for undesirable hum. Back-
ground noise, generated by ground loops, occurs
2
again and again when two electronic devices are
connected to each other, and the Lehle P-Split II
provides a simple but extremely effective remedy
when installed between the two units. The two de-
vices are electrically isolated when the ISO output
is used, eliminating this background noise. And:
the Lehle P-Split II needs no power supply at all!
