I searched this board and the web in general for my answers. There were a LOT! Perhaps too much. And yet I couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I'm posting this in the informal section of the board in hopes that I will piss off as few of you as possible...
I'm looking to build a simple microphone splitter. Not a 12 channel or 24 channel. I just want to split one microphone. I know I can buy an ART splitter for $35, but I'm working my way up to building some more complicated pres and things. Already built the DIYrecording reamp box. (Baby steps...)
I have at least one session coming up where I want to record the entire band live in one room (as that's what I've got) and I have this crazy idea of actually running a live PA in the room (vocals only) so we can play live just like we do every Monday night at the pub.
I want to split the vocals and send one signal to the PA and another to the recording devices (Digi 002...)
I found schematics. I found discussions and even arguments about active/passive, transformers, etc. I found no convenient kits like the reamp box.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a place (or places) to source ALL the parts necessary, including the box, predrilled if possible (even repurposed...) and can you cut through all the mud online and explain what I should build (passive, active, etc.) Are there simple builds that have been documented that would be easy for a new builder to follow?
Thank you.
