Behringer Ultralink MS8000 Microphone Splitter
Description
The Behringer Ultralink MS8000 8-channel microphone splitter sends your mic signal to multiple locations, such as mixing consoles, stage monitors, and broadcast trucks. This, for example, would allow you to connect to front of house and your in-ear monitors simultaneously. Eight inputs and 16 outputs provide you with plenty of flexibility, while a Lift/Ground switch and linkable channels make the Ultralink MS8000 an indispensable tool for stage and studio.

Keep in mind that there are different types of splitters: A splitter snake is one stage box with 2 tails such as this. And a rackmount splitter is a box on a rack that you connect directly into, such as this. And a combo of the 2 such as this. If you do need a stage snake to run from the stage to your mixer then I recommend ... ... more

I wish we could bury this meme already. The ZS10s punch above their price point, but are large and have a thick nozzle, not going to fit everyone. Stock cable and tips are not great, so more $$ required there (Comply T-500 foams fit). I've recommended the SE215 to many people with universal satisfaction. They're small and ... ... more

I will route one copy of the signal to the snake as usual. Then the other will be ... ... more

I can't think of a mixer that would meet all those requirements, but have you considered getting a multi-channel splitter, or a splitter snake, and sending one split to your current mixer and the other split to a multi-channel interface? Here's a splitter suggestion, and here's an interface. This would get you 8 tracks, ... ... more
