I am looking for the simplest / cheapest equipment for the following setup. It should be noted that I am a complete newcomer when it comes to audio. The setup is as follows:



- I have a sound output (an instrument) that I currently connect my headphones to directly.

- I want to split/duplicate the sound over to the input of another unit and mix/combine everything together into my headphones. It should preferably be possible to control the volume for each input/output.



Diagram 1: – Conceptually where the sound should go.

Diagram 2: – How I imagine splitting/mixing would work.

I have also attach the diagrams here.


All the sockets/connectors are jack connectors, either 6.35 or 3.5.



Is there some simple, inexpensive equipment that could solve this problem? Preferably a single unit for splitting and mixing.



I looked at the SPLITMix4, but I am not sure if it does what I need it to do. I also read that it is passive so I would probably need an amp from the secondary sound output.
