That's overkill. Simply use an XLR Y cable to split the single mic out
to the two mixers. You can do this at the input of one of the mixers
so you only have a single mic cable coming out of the mic. Mic to long
cable, cable to XLR Y, one side of the Y into mixer 1, other side of
the XLR Y into mixer 2 - you can use jumper XLR cable over to the
other mixer the splits on the Y aren't long enough.

You read my mind. I've ordered the cables. It's just that I have the
A27 on hand right now. I went ahead with it because we are so far out
in the sticks that we even get our email by UPS and things ordered
take awhile.
