A method and device are provided for producing a transmission signal to be transferred over a transmission path from an input signal, for example an xDSL signal, wherein a bandwidth of the input signal is distributed onto a plurality of frequency bands in such a way that part signals are obtained corresponding to the individual frequency bands, and wherein each part signal is conducted to separate line drivers, and wherein output signals of the individual line drivers are combined to form the transmission signal to be transferred over the transmission path by combination means, which can be designed as an adder. In order to obtain the frequency band which pertains in each case from the input signal, which can be transformed into an analogue signal with a D/A converter, filter means can be used.
