Technically, probably not noticeably, depending on exactly what you mean by degrade and what the load is. Preamp level signals have low output impedance, typically less than 100 ohms and inputs are 10k and above so splitting a signal makes less than a percent amplitude difference.
Is it okay to split RCA?
You can split RCA and connect multiple amps with it. The procedure is no difficult and you can connect two or three amps just by splitting one RCA jack. Amplifiers are used to reproduce sound by increasing the amplitude of the sound. RCA cables are connectors that help you connect between two electrical devices.Aug 23, 2020
Does splitter affect sound quality?
If a splitter is used you'll be simply adding more wire to the signal path and therefore there will be more resistance in the audio path. Thus slightly more amplification will be needed. Other than that there shouldn't be a difference in sound quality.
Does splitting RCA degrade signal?
there is a -3db drop in signal level when the signal is split in half.. it doesn't really “degrade” the signal, it just makes it quieter..
Do RCA Y splitters degrade sound?
as goose says, they will degrade the sound a bit. Depending on the system, you may not notice it at all or just barely. The bigger issue is misuse.Mar 8, 2004
Can you split RCA cable for subwoofer?
In order to hook up a powered subwoofer properly, an RCA "splitter" cable ("Y" cable) is not needed. Any single, standard RCA or subwoofer cable should do just fine. ... One end of the subwoofer/RCA cable will be plugged into the Subwoofer Output on the back of your receiver.

Do using an RCA splitters reduce quality?
If you connect it to the line-out of the sound card it should not pose an issue, since the input impedance is around 50k Ohm the current is very small. So for normal purposes it makes no difference.Jul 5, 2011
Can you splice two RCA cables together?
RCA cables are a ubiquitous part of home audio and video systems. RCA audio and video cables can split, fray or short out over time. Splicing good sections of cable together is an efficient way to repair old cables and get them back in action.
