I'm a novice so please excuse my possibly bad phrasing and electronics ignorance...
I have a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 audio recording interface (shown here), which has two 1/4" output jacks for studio monitors. I don't have monitors yet but I have a nice set of PC speakers (Bose Companion 3) that I'd like to use. Due to software limitations I haven't been able to feed the audio from the audio interface to the PC speakers through the operating system (still waiting on their tech support for a reply on this).
So if that ultimately falls through, I'd like to build an adapter to share the speakers between my PC and the audio interface. It would look something like this:
I have found plenty of dual 1/4" to 3.5 mm adapters (like this), but none that also have another 3.5 mm plug coming in. Is this possible by simply splicing together the wires, or does some special circuitry need to happen at the junction point?
