[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 25011, member: 162"] Re: using "wye or Y" cables and associated questions Up to this point we've been talking about wyeing multiple mics to the same input, and all of the above challenges are real - phantom power reduction through the resistor network as well as multiple mics, etc. In the scenario you mentioned in your last post (if I understood what you meant correctly), it may work the other way for you: You can split the overhead mics into two mixers - the submixer for the drummer, and also the main system. This is commonly done - one set of stage inputs runs to both a monitor console and a FOH console. The methods vary from simple wye adapters to fancy isolated splitter snakes, but if the overheads are the main hitch here, you may be able to run with the reverse gender wye and skip the resistor network altogether. I still think it's a little incongruous that a church with a cheap keyboard that only has a headphone out and no good drum mics would be contemplating an ILive?! It seems that a few other upgrades on the list might be a higher priority than a $15,000+ mixer. [/QUOTE]
