jamesperrett Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Trying to remember back to the murky days of college . Assuming impedances are equal would the signal at each desk be half the original signal , if so does this have any effect on the procedings ? I ask because I have never used mic splits and later this year I have a gig where I could use onstage monitor mix and it's not worth buying active splits for one gig . It depends on the output impedance of the mic and the input impedance of the mixers. A typical mic may have an output impedance of 200 ohms while desks usually have input impedances around 2k ohms. Off the top of my head I would say that means that you will see a drop in output voltage of around 20% when using both desks. Some dedicated monitor desks have a higher input impedance in order to reduce the additional loading. Cheers James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
