I am ordering the cables tomorrow
As an expert cable builder, I find the prospects of splitting a signal from an RCA connector pretty “iffy.” Most of them barely have enough room in the barrel for a single cable, much less two. The strain relief certainly won’t handle two cables.

Maybe Blue Jeans has a special RCA for this, but I think it makes much more sense to do the spilt-off at the XLR, a short jumper that would connect to the BFD’s second channel. This would be the electrical equivalent of splitting at the RCA. Not to mention, there’s no good reason to have two long cables running to the BFD from the receiver when one will do.

So, you might see if Blue Jeans will make the cable for you with the split at the XLR.

Wayne
