How to route to headphone amp AND monitors?

[maxwolf]

This isn't the most stimulating question, but maybe someone can fill me in on what must be a very simple point I'm missing.

If my Delta 1010 audio interface has two channels for master ouput, what's the simplest way to send the signal to a multichannel headphone amp AS WELL AS powered speakers or a power amp? For instance, I'm scoping out a 6-channel rane "headphone console" but I don't see any "stereo through" on this unit which might send the signal on its way to the monitor speakers. Do I need to get some kind of additional distribution device or something?

Thanks,
Max

Dont know if I am getting your question right, but couldnt you just use a y-adapter to route?

There is a rack unit that splits a signal to allow routing to a headphone amp and to 3 speakers pairs (I believe one for powered monitors and two for passive) - the unit also allows for routing to stereo recording gear (Dat's, CD burner), etc.

I can't remember who makes this unit but it was someone like Digitech. In any case it looks very functional (haven't seen it live - just in the mags)

I actually use a routing device I got at (gasp) Radio Shack. It's designed to control mutiple speakers in a home audio system but it works in my studio. There are no electrical parts (it's a passive switcher) so it doesn't add any noise. It's like a $15 item - works for me.
