[QUOTE="Jordan Wolf, post: 22749, member: 316"] Re: Gain Structure with SL16 Actually, Wali, the cable you want is not a splitter. A splitter (or wye/"y" cable) would take the same signal and send it to both of the other connectors. The cable you want will send one signal to one connector and another (potentially, but necessarily different) signal to the other connector. A lot of the time, 1/4" TRS connectors are used for mono, balanced signal transfer. In your case, you want to use it for stereo, unbalanced signals, and require a different wiring scheme. You want to split the stereo signal to 2 mono channels (or, if you have a stereo channel available, use that instead). Personally, I think you should just buy a [URL="http://whirlwindusa.com/catalog/black-boxes-effects-and-dis/direct-boxes/pcdi"]Whirlwind PCDI[/URL] (or similar) and have that available for use in the future should you or someone else need it. I use mine all the time and it can be very helpful for troubleshooting because of the transformer isolation it provides. [/QUOTE]
