Splitting an output!

[jason porter]

Hi,

I am trying to split the tapeout of my 302 to-

-1 stereo output to feed a backup recorder and

-1 mono output to feed a Sennheiser G2 (used as an IFB feed)

When I mono one of the leads, (using an adapter or direct wiring) it mono's both leads.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

Thanks

Best would be to just feed one side to the G2 (Don't sum).  If for some reason  you must sum them, you need a pair of 2k-10k or more resistors on each channel leg to sum the 2 channels for the G2 mono feed.  There will probably be some cross talk with the lower resistance.

Sound Devices has a simple schematics on its site that derives a mono output while preserving sufficient stereo separation.

Go look at their support documents for the SD302.

Thanks guys!

I haven't looked at the SD pages for so long I didn't realize they updated the "tutorial" (I already made the "mono-mic-level output"
