Galaxy Audio JIB/Y Splitter XLR Mic Signal Splitter

The Galaxy Audio JIB/Y Splitter routes one microphone to two separate inputs while isolating phantom-power sources to protect signals and prevent interference.

The JIB/Y Splitter is a compact, passive XLR splitter designed for live sound and rehearsal environments where a single mic must feed both a stage monitor or personal mixer and the front-of-house (FOH) console. Built to preserve clarity and prevent phantom-power conflicts, it gives performers and engineers an easy, reliable way to create an independent stage mix without changing the house levels.

How does the JIB/Y Splitter keep stage and front-of-house signals independent?

The splitter duplicates the mic signal so two different boards receive the same source while maintaining isolation between their inputs. That means your monitor engineer or a powered stage monitor can adjust local levels without altering what the FOH engineer hears.

• Passive split design preserves the original mic tone.
• Independent outputs for monitor and FOH feeds.
• Prevents local adjustments from affecting house mix.
• Immediate solution for two-console setups.

Can the JIB/Y Splitter handle phantom power from different consoles?

Yes — the unit includes phantom-block circuitry that prevents backfeed between two separate phantom power supplies. This avoids hum, noise, and potential damage that can occur when two preamps attempt to source phantom voltage into the same microphone line.

• Integrated phantom-blocking protects against dual 48V sources.
• No external power required for the splitter itself.
• Safe with condenser microphones as long as one side provides phantom power.
• Reduces troubleshooting time for power-related noise issues.

What connections and setup steps are involved for live gigs?

Setup is straightforward: plug the microphone into the splitter’s input, then run the two XLR outputs to your monitor and FOH inputs. Signal routing is immediate — no configuration menus or tools — making it ideal for quick stage changes and rehearsals.

• One XLR input for the microphone source.
• Two XLR outputs: one to stage monitors, one to FOH or recording device.
• Works with dynamic and condenser microphones (manage phantom as needed).
• Compact footprint fits pedalboards, rack trays, or gig bags.

Why choose the Galaxy Audio JIB/Y Splitter over other splitters?

The JIB/Y focuses on simplicity and reliability for performers and engineers who need a dependable split without extra electronics. Its phantom-block circuitry and passive design keep signals clean while requiring no batteries or AC power, which minimizes points of failure during live events.

• Durable, road-ready construction for touring and local gigs.
• Passive operation eliminates active component noise.
• Phantom isolation for safe multi-console use.
• Fast setup reduces soundcheck time.

Who is this for: The Galaxy Audio JIB/Y Splitter is ideal for musicians, stage techs, and audio engineers who need to feed a single microphone to both stage monitoring and front-of-house systems without compromising signal integrity. It suits live performers wanting control of their stage mix, sound crews handling small-to-medium venues, and anyone needing a portable, no-fuss mic-splitting solution for rehearsals, recording, or multi-board setups.
