Topic: how to cable UFX line outs for separate headphone mixes
Hi:
I have a UFX and I will soon need to record 3 performers, sending separate headphone mixes to each performer.
I am trying to decide what kind of cables I should get. I know I need to use 3 pairs of line outs for 3 separate headphone mixes, and I know how to use TotalMix for this, but the cabling gives me pause.
For each headphone mix, I could use an unbalanced Y-cable with 2 TS male connectors on the UFX side to receive a pair of main outs, with 1 TRS female connector on the headphone side to connect a TRS headphone cable into.
Is this the way I should cable each pair of outs for separate headphone mixes?
I suppose I should keep these Y-cables short as possible to minimize the length of unbalanced cable. Would it be okay then to extend the headphone side with a balanced male TRS-to-female TRS cables?
Is there a better way to do all this?
Thanks!
Regards,
Gary
