XLR Y cable

[jonhall5446]

Hello all,

My question pertains more to a live application but I hope some of you can help me.

I have a rack with 3 Marcrotech 2400 amps. Typically we only use two of them, splitting the signal with an XLR Y cable. We are powering 2 18" Subs per amp.

I would like to add a single XLR patch to the back of the rack case and parallel the signal to all three of the amps. Is there a way to accomplish this without purchasing some sort of splitter? Can I build a Y cable that runs to three amps?

Yes.

On the back of these amps there is an xlr and a balanced jack for each input. Have you tried plugging in the XLR, then plugging a balanced jack to jack cable from the same input as the XLY across to another balanced jack input as a jumper lead? You may find that you will get a signal on both inputs from the 1 xlr. See attached diagram, this may work but on some equipment the jack inputs disconnect the XLR when used on, but worth a try.

Cheers
