Re: Signal attenuation when splitting an output

The losses in a "split" are dependent on several factors.

1: The number of splits and the impedance of the input circuit.  A mic does not have the same low impedance as a line level signal and typically mic inputs are not as high of an impedance as those for a line level signal.

2: The length of the cable going to each split.  It all adds up.

So that being said- you can "typically" split a line level signal in to many more inputs than a mic level.

And of course once you throw in an unbalanced input-it all gets gets screwed up---------------
