The LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO combines passive intelligent splitting with the highest possible signal fidelity in a double pack.

• The classic solution for splitting, eliminating hum, balancing and reamplification in recording applications, now appears in a doubled version and this time adds the passive summing of signals.
• The possibilities are reaching far. Tap the full potential.
• Two LEHLE TRANSFORMER HZ are working at the heart of the LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO, galvanically isolating the particular ISO outputs from each other, eliminating any possibility of ground loops and hum.
• The LEHLE TRANSFORMER HZ process both high and low impedance with uncompromising sound quality. At the ISO outputs you can pick off the signal either unbalanced or balanced – regardless of the signal type in the rest of your rig.
• Per channel there is a gold plated phase switch and ground switch. This keeps you flexible and your system safe.
• A classic application is the isolation of a stereo signal, enabling you to use two amplifiers in stereo and send the stereo signal to a mixer or the audio interface of your DAW at the same time.
• Another useful method for the LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO can be as an effective hum suppressor.
• If you connect two electronic devices, background noise can appear, caused by ground loops.
• Here the LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO provides a simple, but highly effective solution: whilst installed between the two units, this problem solver isolates the input from the output.
• Thanks to its ability to pick off balanced signals on the ISO outputs, the LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO is also eminently suitable for use as a high-quality compact stereo DI box for all types of active signals.
• Thus you can run long cable distances in the studio or on stage, of balanced signal type and free of background noise.
• According to which sockets are occupied, the LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO also works as a passive summing box: your effects pedal board can be wired in stereo, but you output in mono if connected to only one amplifier.
• If, on the other hand, you connect only one mono signal to the input, the LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO works as a three-way split for up to three amplifiers.
• Galvanically isolated, double hum free and passively intelligent splitting
• Speaking of passive: the LEHLE P-SPLIT STEREO still doesn’t need a power supply.
  
  Q: What is galvanic isolation?
  A: Background noise, generated by ground loops, occurs again and again when two electronic devices are connected to each other, and the Lehle P-Split III provides a simple but extremely effective remedy when installed between the two units. The two devices are galvanically isolated when the 'ISO´ output is used, eliminating this background noise.
  The protective earth conductor and the ground connection of the audio signal create a loop which will pick up external interference generated, for example, by coils. Such interference will impair the signal. The Lehle LTHZ transformer included in the Lehle P-Split III galvanically isolates the ground connection. The hum loop is thus broken at this point.

  Q: Does the galvanic isolation color my sound?
  A: No, neither sound nor dynamics will be altered, the signal is passing the switcher without any loss in strength or frequency. We use our self-developed Lehle LTHZ transformers for this, the selection of high quality components guarantees a rich sound throughout the full frequency range.

  Q: Can I use the P-Split III to eliminate the humming that my amps create when I use them simultaneously? It sometimes occurs when I use a stereo pedal to send a signal to both amps.
  A: Yes, the 2 outputs are galvanically isolated, so there will be no ground loops.

  Q: Can the P-Split III be used as DI box since it has 14“ sockets?
  A: Yes, you get a balanced or unbalanced (mono-) signal from ISO and/or DIR output when using a stereo (TRS) cable.
