Hi guys... I'm feeding a UA Solo 610 mic preamp directly into my AD converter -- doing so causes a slight latency (as I am monitoring off of the soundcard output.) The latency is relatively low -- somewhere between 2-6ms, but enough to cause audible phasiness when recording vocals and monitoring via headphones...
I'd like to split the XLR output from the preamp -- I can then run the extra feed directly into my console and monitor off of that signal, avoiding all latency... (Of course I could plug the pre into my board and buss it to the AD converters, but I'm trying to avoid the boards electronics in my signal path.)
I know it seems like such a silly, simple question, but what would be the cleanest, most transparent way to split the signal? A simple "Y" cable? An active splitter? Isolated? Transformer based? I'd like to get something together somewhat quickly -- I see Rolls, Samson, and quite a few other guys make boxes in the $50 range, though I can't speak of quality... I'd also DIY something if it could be easily tossed together for cheaper... What do ya think?
