If the mic ophone is to be connected to ste eo system then
you should use the Y-splitte to feed a signal to both

to use such as a AUX/TV input.
When making final adjustments, make su e signal is applied
to all speake s and subwoofe s in the system you wish to
calib ate. Making sepa ate adjustments to each channel will
not accomplish a well-balanced end esult.
