Good Afternoon All,

Ive searched several areas without success in finding a answer. If this has been answered my apologizes.

Im building a radio rack (a Syntor x9000 and 3 xtl5000's)... I am making a audio panel to run the setup via 1 handheld mic and a single speaker. It's a very similar setup to what I had setup in my air-medical helicopter except we used xts5000's. I've got all the mic pinout a setup and working.

My question is to the audio. Ill have one external speaker and a output for a David Clark headset. I know you can't ground Motorola radios audio feed because it will blow the audio circuit. My question is can I tie all the (-) leads together to the speaker (-)? In addition do I need to put anything on the individual positive leads such as a resistor or diode to prevent back feeding into the other radios.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Thank You,
Seth
