Frequently Asked Questions
The 'off' setting completely isolates the socket, preventing any signal from passing through, allowing for independent signal routing.
While technically usable for audio, the passive nature means attenuation will occur. It's best suited for CV/gate signals where signal integrity is key and attenuation is less critical.
Active multiples offer buffering and gain, eliminating signal loss and potential ground issues, but the A-182-1 is a more affordable, space-saving solution for simpler distribution needs.
