Buffer Out / Tuner Out is it the same? (RG-16)

[joe web]

hi ron,

just a quick question about the tuner out on the RG-16.
i know, that it could be used as a splitter, while the tuner out delivers the same signal as the buffer out.
does this mean, that the tuner out also has a buffered signal? or is the split done before the signal hits the buffer circuit?
if it is buffered, do i need to use the buffer out or could i use the tuner out instead?

why i´m asking this is, because i run the buffer in front of loop 7 and 8, a) so i could reduce cable chaos in my rack or b) do a complete different wiring
at the moment i use a simple y-cable (1x mono to 2x mono jacks) to send the signal from the buffer out to input 7 and input 8, if the tuner out is buffered as well, i could use the buffer out to feed input 7 and tuner out to feed input 8 for example....or do totally different crazy things in the near future...

thanks
joe

The Buffer Out and Tuner Out are parallel outputs from the buffer, so yeah, you can use it for a lot of things other than tuners.
