I am using the new Stereo Line Out 1u module with second gen audio jacks and a 1u Headphone module - I’d like to perform with in-ears, so I need to split the signal cables carrying the stereo master audio.
I want to avoid loss of audio quality, but would rather use the space in the case for something else than a buffered multiple. Would stackcables / a passive split do the job without compromising audio quality?
I don’t know much about signal loss.
My final stereo audio output comes from the 4ms Wav Recorder and I won’t split the signal more than one time.
Does it have to do with the output of Wav Recorder being buffered/isolated or something like that?
I use stackables in this very same way to split audio from my 1u outs to my headphone 1u so I can monitor my eurorack during live performances. I have never noticed any loss of audio quality. I am sure, if measured, there is probably some minor loss in volume but nothing that can’t be compensated for by turning up your output.
Not sure I understand your last question: “Does it have to do with the output of Wav Recorder being buffered/isolated or something like that?”
May I ask why your final stereo output comes from the Wav Recorder and not your Stereo Line Out 1u module? Seems like you’d want to send a line output from your system to a PA/mixer/etc and not a eurorack level output. Or does the Wav Recorder output line level?
It’s also worth mentioning that the latest run of Headphones 1U modules have a jumper on the back to connect to the Stereo Out 1U module, so you can set up a monitor output without any multing or patching.
