A splitter will change the impediance of the sub out. The low level signal hoIng to the sub, not the speaker. But not in any significant way. It is a non-issue.

The UMC-1 has 2 sub outputs (an XLR balanced and an RCA) which are active at the same time. So you could use both the RCA and the balanced out. This is how I have my two SVS subs hooked up.

(The following is not directed at you Dyohn as I know you know all this stuff <G>, but the general thread). It's also Likely the UMC-1s two outputs are electrically connected together inside the box, so if a splitter is cheaper than an XLR to RCA or neater then it might be the better option. I actually have a cable with XLR one end, RCA the other feeding my MiniDSP via an Emotiva splitter, the MiniDSP has 4 outputs that I send off to each sub. The MiniDSP can act as a splitter and DSP in one if you want. Additionally I then use the Emotiva splitters to split the MiniDSP outputs to go to both L+R inputs on the sub which is generally a "good idea" and you get a bit more input gain which can sometimes be useful. So that's 5 splitters and a DSP unit and it all sounds great.
