We present the design of a new 4 channel, fiberoptic spectrophotometer which allows to measure the object, two comparison stars and sky background simultaneously throughout the whole optical wavelength range with high efficiency. The overall spectral resolution of about 50 in combination with over-sampling allows to eliminate colour dependent extinction effects to a high degree and guarantees accurate transformations to other broad band photometric systems.
