Pro Sound Web: If a church sound system has evolved along a familiar path, what started out as a pretty simple, small group “sound-on-a-stick” has gradually become more and more sophisticated.
Many have replaced that powered mixer with separate components and added a snake to allow for a mix position in the listening area. Words like “direct box,” “balanced,” “low impedance,” “crossover,” etc. have become part of the sound team’s vocabulary as they strive to provide today’s expected level of sound quality and production – for both the listeners and the performers.

This article is very informative on the multiple analogue ways of splitting mic signal. Over the summer I used several splitters to split signal going to the monitor desk and to the FOH desk and I always wondered if there was any signal loss in doing this but never really had the chance to ask. After reading this article I am interested to go back to the shop this winter and really experiment with the splitters to see what kind of splitters they are and what sort of things happen when I split mic signal. One thing that this doesn't really go into is digital splitting. We experimented with this a little over the summer. Basically what this is is splitting the digital signal from one stage box to multiple local racks and consoles.
