?klipsch Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 I would like to hook up a pair of headphones to my system, but I don't want to have to keep unplugging my klipschs in order to do so. Would it be possible to hook up a y-splitter to my SB Live Value in order to accomplish this task? I'm heading to radio shack today to look for the y-splitter. Please let me know if there's any particular type or model of y-splitter that I should look for or stay away from. I would also greatly appreciate it if someone could explain how best to hook it up. Thanks in advance to those who can render assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooF Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 heh. kind of strange but i just bought an sblive value, and i just did the exact same thing. it works flawlessly. ill give you the exact name and part number from radio shack: dual stereo headphone adapter (text under the title adapts two 1/8" (3.5mm) 3 conductor plugs to one 1/8" 3 conductor jack. gold plated cat no. 274-879A i put that thing in the front speaker jack and plugged the klipsch green cord and a stereo cable into it. i put a dual 1/8" coupler on the end of the stereo cord, taped it to the top of my table. so the plugin for my headphones is now right beside my keyboard no difference in quality is noticeable at all.. through the klipsch or my grado sr-60 headphones.

?klipsch Posted June 16, 2001 Author Share Posted June 16, 2001 Thanks a lot for the info. Just one question though... Why do you need the stereo cable taped to your desk? Can't you just leave the speakers and the headphones plugged in at all times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooF Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 yep i could, but i use my headphones for other stuff too, and i dont like crawling under my desk to unplug the 'phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
