ok here is the details. i have one mic in my dj booth going directly into my q-spand pro mixer. sounds and works great.recently we expanded our club and now the girls cannot hear the dj in the dressing room which has moved next door. we put in wall speakers over there and are running them with the the small adj amp (forgot model number), the issue is, that with just splitting the mic cable and going into the mixer and directly into the amp, i cant get enough input into the amp for the dressing room to get enough output, even with the gains wide open, my question is , do i use a direct box, a mic splitter combiner or a mic pre amp

Vertigoreality - Is it the VLP300?

1.you are splitting the mic signal with a "Y cable"? well this lowers the MIC signal impedance and may not be as loud as it would be direct and may distort at lower SPL.

2. you are running a mic signal into the AMP. This is why you have your gains @ max and don't hear much signal. A mic signal is microvolts.Even if you set the amp sensitivity to .775 volts the signal is not near that.

I would use option 2 unless for some reason you dont want music going to the dressing room. If not you are going to need a MIC pre amp or a small mixer to go into to the amp running the celling speakers.
