MULTS AND “Y”s

A mult or “Y” connector allows you to route one output to two or more inputs by simply providing parallel wiring connections. You can make “Y”s and mults for the outputs of both unbalanced and balanced circuits.

Remember: Only mult

or “Y” an output into sev-

eral inputs. If you need

to combine several out- puts into one input, you

must use a mixer, not a mult or a “Y.”
