@gh0stest: Which mic adapter are you referring to? Do you have a name/brand/link for it? Thanks.

Also, if you have a surround sound processor you can just plug into a headphone extension cord and then plug it into the processor. You wouldnt need the splitter then.

The only thing that kinda comes to question is volume range.

you do not need to buy a 3.5mm stereo to 2.5mm mono adapter, stereo one works just fine
