" MONO PLUG Channel Insert jack Mults and "Y"s A mult or "Y" connector allows you to route one output to two or more inputs by simply providing parallel wiring connections. You can make "Y"s and mults for the outputs of both unbalanced and balanced circuits. If you need to combine several outputs into one input, you must use a mixer, not a mult or a "Y.
