Re: line splitter/mixer

[Travis Hartnett <tiktok@sprintmail.com>]

The Rane is ridiculously flexible (I've used several in various 
applications for years), but if I'm reading you right it will do what 
you want in this case.  You send it the mono or stereo output from your 
preamp, and then three of your (six) channels become send controls.  
You could then either send the output from your three units to channel 
inputs on a second mixer, or to the three remaining channels on the 
Rane (if the units have mono output--if they're stereo, you need a 
different mixer).  If you went the second route, the output of your 
pre-amp and the three additional units would be summed back at the 
master outputs of the Rane, which can be mono or stereo as desired.  If 
you're curious, the manual for the SM26 is available in pdf on Rane's 
site.
