I'm sure you have it backwards. Studios use mixers to combine stuff. Using a Y to drive to things from a line level (or already preamplified) signal is common, it is called "multi" or "multiing" meaning you are sending a signal to multiple places. Studio patch panels all make multing easy. -- Pat Farrell PRC recording studio http://www.pfarrell.com/PRC _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
