RE: Mixer Board Stood On Its Head

Yep, this will help.  Based on Andy's tip, I just reconfigured my rack
so that my LXP1 is running through the AUX 1 of my Mackie 1202 mixer,
and the LXP5 is running through AUX 2. Two down, four to go.  This
splitter would allow me to split each AUX send into four sends.  Or I
may just get the new Mackie 1202 which has the additional AUX 3/4 sends
(my original 1202 doesn't have this feature).  The only thing I'm
concerned about now is that these AUX sends are mono and my effects
processors have stereo inputs.  Many units have one input that says
"mono" under it, which is comforting, but the LXP1 and LXP5 just say L
and R. Hence, I'm using a basic 1/4 inch Y cord....but that worries me,
because sometimes Y cords do weird things to the signal.   

I'll just buy two of these 1 in four out splitter boxes and get the new
Mackie 1202.

i had exactly this problem when i was putting my rack together - i got
round 
it (very cheaply) by using a splitter box like this -

ry_id/99b83856bb14cc97ff30736eae541cb6

which send stereo signals (via y-leads) to a repeater and two tc d-2's

the original signal and the outputs of the fx go into a MAM SLM-82 8
channel 
mixer -

the fx units are set to 100% wet.

probably cost me about 120 quid and it's completely silent and very
light!
