Do the amps not have slave out?

[paul1404]

No not that I can think off

What make/model are the amplifiers?

What make/model are the amplifiers?

& for that matter the mixer.

Just use phono splitters on the output of the mixer and feed into both amps. It will be exactly the same as looping through an amplifier. My choice would be for the flying lead type splitter tather than the solid adapter.

I've never tried it but I was going to suggest the same.
I find it strange that the mixer only has one output. Every mixer I have ever used has had balanced XLR, output and also one for booth/monitor.
If that's the case then I'd connect one via XLR and the other via booth/monitor.

The problem with that is most mixers don't route the mic through those outputs to avoid feedback, so you would only have the mic going to one set of speakers.

I've seen this suggested with balanced outputs, but I thought it was frowned upon with unbakanced?

True in many cases I believe Steve. The beauty of the DN X-500 is that you can press a button, and send the mic to all outputs.


Most professional amps nowadays tend to have say jack and XLR sockets for input. It's fine to use these for daisy chaining amps together, thus ensuring they get the same signal.

If you normally go from phono on the mixer to the jack inputs, that would leave you with the XLR's to send to the jack inputs on the second amp.

This style from mixer to first amp;

and a pair of something like this from first to second:
