Hey all, I'm considering splitting my Monitor Out signal so I can run 2 cabs onstage (2 Mission Gemini 1-P's powered by a Matrix GT800FX) and still send XLR's to FOH via the Main Outs. Looking at something like the Galaxy JIB S 4-way Splitter (1x4 Splitter), will split the Monitor output and send one line to each side of the power amp and then to each cab. My signals are always Mono out of the Kemper, even to FOH, so I won't be missing stereo. Question: will splitting the signal have any kind of derogatory effect on my tone or anything? Appreciate any input as always. Thanks!

If you use good cables you should notice no change of tone. But you might consider splitting the Matrix' out (with a proper tool), this would half the overall impedance seen by the power amp and produce more volume. What is your cabs' impedance?
-
There is no need to split the Kemper signal.
You can send ONE cable to the Matrix:
In Parallel (Mono) mode, Input A is connected to feed both amplifier channel A and B. Input B is not used. Full independent level control over each amplifier output channel remains possible. (This is useful if you want to send the same mono signal to two separate cabs).

You're welcome
Yes, their product page does not have enough details for this kind of question. I got that paragraph from the owners manual PDF.

No problem - the more exposure you have to gear documentation, the easier it gets
