Running Keyboard and Axe through one set of monitors

[hughj]

Hi guys. Kind of a noob question on routing. Just wondering what my options for running two sets of xlrs into one set of xlr inputs. Don't really want a mixer (unless very compact and inexpensive) or anything that will color my sound in any way. I want to run axe fx 2 and org pa1x elite through a pair of adam a5x studio monitors. Thanks for looking.

You can get one of those Y-adapter cables.

But you should really consider getting a mini 4 channel mixer instead. They are cute, useful and cost about the same as a set of adapter cables.

You could plug the keyboard into Input 2 on the Axe, use the FX loop to inject it into your signal chain (in the grid), then mix your guitar and keyboard signals inside the Axe using a mixer block. You'd then just take the Output 1 from the Axe, and plug it directly into your PA
