It was the "big science" suggestion and the "creative" one ;)

I should have thought of the simple split cable, it can be done usually if
you have 2-3 out to feed at max.

More will give a degenerated signal, or the Sid may even doesn't like it a
lot (to much charge to drive on the outpout). So yes you can just use a
simple split cable. :D

Trouble is if you look forward for a spliter box with RCA outs, you risk to
search a looooooooooong time. RCA are only used in "consumer" and DJ
markets. It has never reach professional level which prefer by far the XLR,
then the TRS, then the mono jack.

Your split cable is already a good solution. The better one is active
splitter. The splitter I found for Aaron is $69 if I remember.

Could be worse. And they sell online.

If your actual system work ok, why would you change. If it ain't brokenŠ

To make from the ground up a good active spliter would be overkill.

Not for the fainted of heart ;)
