Multiple amps in same freq band

I'm amazed no one has thought to mention XLR line splitters as the solution. I use a relatively cheap linesplitter from Stageline , LSP-102 .... These don't have major electronics involved in their circuitry so this cheapo product is in fact robust and does the job of providing a proper signal to the amps with no confusion...

A bit of shopping around and they can be acquired much cheaper than this...

I hate to start confusing anyone, but what about amps like Crest that use pin 3 as the hot. That´s going to be fun for anyone doing direct amp to amp links. Best thing is to keep to one brand of amp per rig unless you really know what you´re doing!

EDIT: maybe that should be old Crests - like when they were Crests and not Peaveys!

Of course that will work, but daisy chaining is a much cheaper solution (or Y splits if you have no link out on your amp inputs).

Interesting. If I understand the theory correctly, with modern(sih) gear with low output impedance and high input impedance, the tiny drop in level from splitting is not significant (i.e. barely measurable and almost certainly not audible)... and this is borne out by my experience.

Whatever works for you I guess. For me, once less component in the audio chain is a good thing.

Distribution amplifier is what you need.
