Title: audio headphone splitter- much quality loss ?
Post by: kylieshotpants on July 29, 2016, 04:03:17 PM

Hi

Is there much loss of quality if I used one pair of binaural microphones and a 9v battery box and split the signal to two recorders, using a headphone splitter jack?

Sometimes I use two complete and separate systems, but if there is not much loss I might try this way

Thanks

Might work okay, depends on the input impedance of the recorders.  Best to use two identical machines with the same input impedance I'd guess.

A less problematic solution will be to patch the second recorder into the headphone/line-out of the first recorder.
