8 Flexible Channels of Connectivity

The Behringer Ultralink MS8000 8-channel microphone splitter sends your mic signal to multiple locations, such as mixing consoles, stage monitors, and broadcast trucks. This, for example, would allow you to connect to front of house and your in-ear monitors simultaneously. Eight inputs and 16 outputs provide you with plenty of flexibility, while a Lift/Ground switch and linkable channels make the Ultralink MS8000 an indispensable tool for stage and studio. How many uses could you come up with for the Behringer Ultralink MS8000 8-channel microphone splitter?

Behringer Ultralink MS8000 at a Glance:
  • Direct and Link outputs offer amazing flexibility
  • Input Link function doubles your outputs
Direct and Link outputs offer amazing flexibility

The Behringer Ultralink MS8000's eight front-panel XLR inputs make it easy to connect your microphones and DI boxes, even in a crowded rack. A Lift/Ground switch improves your sound by eliminating hum and other ground loop noises. An XLR Direct Out sends your signal post-transformer, while an XLR Link Out sends it pre-transformer. This allows you to send the Direct Out signal to front of house or a mixing console, while simultaneously sending the Link Out signal to your monitor board or headphone mixer.

Input Link function doubles your outputs

By employing the Behringer Ultralink MS8000's Input Link function, you can link two adjacent channels. This allows you to connect a source to one channel and send it from the outputs of two channels. Imagine plugging your mic into Channel 1. You could then send your signal to front of house and a monitor mixer from Channel 1's outputs, while sending it to a recording interface and broadcast mixer from Channel 2's outputs. The Ultralink MS8000 also allows you to link two adjacent channels and merge their source into a single output, which is great for managing multiple playback devices or converting stereo signals to mono.

Behringer Ultralink MS8000 Features:
  • 8-in/16-out microphone splitter
  • Direct and Link outputs let you send pre- and post-transformer signals
  • Lift/Ground switch eliminates hum and other ground loop noises
  • Input Link function doubles your outputs
  • Passes phantom power from your console or mic pre to Direct Outputs
The Behringer Ultralink MS8000 8-channel mic splitter is a useful tool for stage and studio!

Reviews

Perfect for our IEM rig so far!
Perfect for our IEM mixer rig, and makes all our XLR connections on the front. I used the "no buzz" plastic thingys behind the screws... just in case, but no noise.
Music background: Backyard and One car Garage blues band
Low cost and does its job.
I use these both as a front panel input for our X32, and to split our microphone signals when necessary to a FOH console. They're sleek, inexpensive, and have done what they're designed to do without issue for multiple rehearsals and performances.

I see some reviews say that they're noisy, but I've not experienced this. I have to wonder if some of the reviewers realize that you can't just bolt equipment into a rack and be completely free of ground loops. ALL of my rack equipment that passes audio is isolated from the rails, screws, and other units by Humfrees isolation tabs which are also available from Sweetwater.
Music background: Performing musician and engineer
Works perfectly for Live Broadcasting
I do live broadcasting online for church, bands, weddings, etc. thus allows me to go to any venue, plug everything into the splitter, the send signals to both the FOH sound guy, and the other to my soundboard, which is currently the XR18. The ground lift is a huge help, and I've also had no issues with phantom power. I ended buying to two, to have 16 channels.
Great Product for the price
Does exactly what it says, no issues on my first use. I bought the isolation tabs too since other reviews mentioned that is a best practice. Really love what I get for the price.
Worked flawlessly for me
No humm issues, no connectors getting stuck, nothing. It just worked. I consider myself lucky, I guess, after reading the other reviews. Still, I feel it's worth the chance. Maybe for you, maybe not.
