The SD5 does not have a 2nd mic input, but provides for using a 2nd mic by way of an "optional adapter". Some kind of input splitter, I guess. Does anyone know exactly what that adapter is and where to obtain one?

Glenn, I will find out.

1/4" male (mono) to two 1/4" femail (mono).

Thanks,

I had one at the house and it works fine.

The 1/4-inch mono/splitter will only work when using identical mics, and with the correct impedience. If they are low impedience mics, you could overload the mic input circuit. In most instances it's best to use an inexpensive mixer such as the Alesis Multi-Mix6-FX. Not only do you eliminate overload problems, but additionally, you can set the effects for each individual mic.

Good Luck,

Gary, that's true to a point, but the SD5 has separate volume, effects and e.q. for each mic, so is more versatile.

Thanks Don,

Good information.

If those are mono 1/4" inputs, does that mean they only work with high impedance microphones?

AFAIK, you can't use a low impedance Mike in a high impedance input without a transformer...

Something doesn't make sense. AJ said a a/4-inch mono splitter that connects to a pair of 1/4-inch monos. If this is the case, then it's a single input--not dual. The mics would be wired in paralell, which means both would be using the same effects and volume control.

Now, if the adapter was a 1/4-inch stereo male (TRS) that split to a pair of 1/4-inch mono jacks, then you could plug in two mics and control each mic individually. I don't have a schematic of the keyboard, so I cannot determine how the circuit is wired.

Good Luck,

Gary, I see it the same way. Both signals would be merged before they could be separately controlled. The SD5 does have built in software for controlling each of the 2 mics, with the single input. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
