Can I use 4 Sure MX393 mics with a DR100 mkII via two xlr Y splitter cables?

[DanDU]

I would like to know if it is possible to run four Sure MX393 microphones through two xlr Y splitter cables into a DR100 mkII.

The cables I am looking at are here:

I have a feeling this won't work but wanted to check with you all first.

If you're expecting the microphones to mix together in something resembling an even balance because you have wired them in parallel, no, forget it. Each microphone will be loaded down by the other in the pair and you're likely to get a muddy mess.

You need a real mixer with a separate preamplifier for each microphone.

And it's "Shure" (with an "h"), not "Sure." Sidney and Samuel Shure, the founders, would appreciate your spelling their name right!

Ok, I just broke down and purchased Ty Ford's book Audio Bootcamp Field Guide:

Hopefully this will cut down on foolish audio questions to Dvxuser!
