Hardware monitoring solutions

Hey guys, I got tired of dealing with latency in the box... So I'm running a split before my A/D with some edcor XSM 10K/10K to isolate the feed thats going into a cheap mixer for monitoring. Sounds fine to me, but I am wondering if this is the best solution, or if anyone has some better ideas. Thanks!

Chances are you could split the signal without a transformer. I use a patchbay to split line level signals to my A/D and console. Works great for latency free monitoring.

I do the same thing as KMB-Audio, the sound card inputs on my patchbay are split and each goes to a different channel of a cheap mixer so I can have a monitor mix.

Similar to millzners and KMB, have a "direct unbalanced mic feed" as a monitor and small mackie desk also.

Recording vocals with 10-20msec delay, is pretty useless and off putting!

Thanks for chiming in guys, I figured I didn't necessarily need the transformers, but that they would prevent things from getting weird when using different pieces of equipment, both on the monitoring and recording ends. I was concerned with the split affecting freq. but I don't really hear any difference. Nice to know you guys feel similarly!
