A Distribution Amp, or DA, is a low power amplifier designed to transparently split an input signal to several outputs. For example, the stereo outputs of a mixing console might be run to a DA, where they would be split to simultaneously feed a cassette deck, a DAT recorder, a CD recorder, and so on. Using a distribution amp prevents various problems caused by passively splitting (“Y”-ing) an output to feed multiple sources.
