Seems to me you should split where it will result in the shortest amount of extra cable.
Where to insert XLR "Y" Adaptor
Hi All,
I've got an Allnic L-4000 preamp, which I enjoy quite a bit, and I need to supply two devices with balanced XLR cables: my amplifiers (Classe Omega) and my subwoofer JL 113). The question is - where to put the splitters? I could put them right at the preamp output and then run two seperate lines of cable to the amps and the sub. Or, I could run a single line from the preamp to the sub (which sits between the amps), and right upstream from the sub split it into two, with one leg of the Y adaptor going directly into the sub, and the other going to a short run of balanced cable into the amp (or a similar concept, one leg of the Y adaptor going directly into the amp, and then a jumper from the other leg into the sub.
Thoughts on what is best?
