Using Mic Level TX4M and RX4M isolated modules
These modules are typically employed when splitting a mic signal
between two mixers. Although the transformers may be ordered inside
either the transmit TX4M or receive RX4M boxes, these are usually put
inside the transmit box as this aords greater exibility.
For instance, you may be doing a gig where your stage mics need to be
sent to a monitor mixer by the stage, as well as a distant front-of-house
mixing console. The TX4M would allow you to directly connect your
microphones to the FOH console so it can provide phantom power, while
high-performance Eclipse transformers keep the monitor mixer isolated
and prevent ground loops.
You can also use the same TX4M module to isolate the microphones
to feed a separate recording system. Transformers are truly amazing
devices that surprisingly come in handy in all types of situations.
