Yes, you can take a passive split without losing any significant level.
Before suggestion come for mono.. It must stay stereo. The second delayed FOH speakers for further back in the venue will not be stereo. It’s ok. Those don’t need to be.
But not only will the delay speakers not be stereo, they will only be one channel... And I don see anything providing the delay, either!
I dont know how 'stereo' the main PA will be, but the definite requirement for stereo suggests at least some sources will be hard panned, so the balance from the delay speakers could be significantly different from the stage sound.
It would be much better to feed the delay speakers with a genuine mono feed. If you really don't have a suitable mono send from the desk, I'd use balanced Y-splits from both main outputs, and feed them into an old spare digital FX unit to sum them and provide a mono delay... If you don't have one lying around I'm sure you could borrow one from a friend somewhere, or even hire one.
First, thanks so much for the reply. I’ll likely move ahead with the splice as drawn. To provide some background and hopefully make sense of my shenanigans...
The delay and all frequencies above 150 hz can all be set in the dsp of the second side of the subwoofer amp.
I Hard Pan two guitar amps. They ping pong some special effects. There is a third amp that is even in both channels. The (3) vocals, lead guitar amp, bass drum, bass guitar and second guitar amp are balanced equally.
1 back up singer, snare, two guitar effects are all hard panned.
The back of the venue with the secondary aux mains will have the majority of the signal. These will be just cracked on with enough volume to help even the sound throughout.
I don’t have spare effect.. this is a larger gig for me and I’m using everything I have.
