Whirlwind MIP5 Media Input Plate, Stainless Steel

The MIP5 is a stereo line balancing plate. Stereo inputs can be connected to the 3.5mm TRS jack (tip is left, ring is right) or the RCA jacks. Two balancing transformers are provided, one for each channel. Output connections are made via individual 3 pin pluggable screw terminals. A Stereo/Mono switch is provided which combines left and right together and feeds the summed mono signal to both outputs. A Ground Lift switch breaks the ground connection between the inputs and the output screw terminals. Insertion loss is approximately 1.2 dB for stereo inputs, 1.7 dB for summed inputs and 7.7 dB for a single mono source, measured into a 2 kOhm load.
