Splitting Output 1 w/ Y-Cable

[Toopy14]

Can I split Output 1 with a Y-Cable? If not, can I split Output 1 and what's the best way to do it?

The reason I ask, is that I had my amp. connected to the Axe-Fx using the 4-cable method. Recently, I started using Output 1 to feed a mixer instead. I would like to do both.

Thanks.

Sure you can.

Sure you can.

I was hoping for a simple answer...can't get much simpler than that! Thanks.

Or a cheap DI with two outputs, one of them being a Thru.

DI

DI?

The only downside of using a Y splitter is that, the more you split, the more volume you lose. But that's really not a problem...

What he means is "Direct box".

I only need to go about 3-4', from my rack to the amp.

Direct Inject box.

Are you already using the Out 1 XLR outputs for something? If not, those could be connected to the mixer.

No, I'm just using Unbalanced Output 1. So can I go from XLR Output 1, to TRS balanced inputs in the mixer, using 2 - XLR to TRS cables for L+R?

I have this mixer;

IN1 and IN2 jacks: Inputs 1 and 2 are TRS balanced line inputs. These inputs can be individually trimmed for level over a 24dB range.

Yes.

 

[Toopy14]

Yes.

Awesome. I learned something today and it's just after 10:00 a.m. I can go back to bed now!

Yes.

I use two of these Neutrik TRS adaptors for that very purpose! Built very well, and not expensive for what you get.

That link isn't showing up correctly for me, but here's where I think it pointed:

I believe it's this guy;

3-Pin XLR Female to TRS 1/4in Plug Adapter

That's the one!

 

[Toopy14]

...or two of these?

That should do the trick, too!

I need to swap a male XLR connector with a right-angled TRS connector. Is this the correct wiring diagram to go from female XLR to male TRS?
