Default A question for a wiring guru.

Does anyone know how to mult a line-level signal without using a patchbay? Example, I've got a 1/4" TRS smpte signal that I want to split to all of my decks. Obviously, if I had a patchbay I would just mult the source signal, but I don't see buying a full patchbay just to split the signal 2 or 3 ways. I tried just soldering 2 cables together but I just get a weak signal. How would this be done inexpensively?
Thanks in advance,
Jamey

If the equipment is capable, try "daisy chaining" the smpte signal, otherwise you'll probably need some type of distribution amplifier.

Good luck,
Jack

radio shack makes a very cheap distribution amp -- that's the best way to go. just remember to get the right adapters for it to connect to your TRS cables.
