I thought this would be a common question, but couldn't find anything in a search.
Is there any reason building a 4pin XLR Y cable wouldn't work to put two headsets on one beltpack? I'm guessing there's plenty of power, since any headset I've used (when working properly) is capable of causing severe hearing damage. Assuming it works, I would expect that both earpieces would get the same reduced output level and both mics would pickup at the same reduced input level?
I'm thinking in terms of followspot operators. They don't have much to say anyway, just need to hear back from one of them in case of any issues. I could certainly save a bundle by pairing them up.
