Can I make a buffered splitter for a balanced XLR/Microphone?

[ppatchmods]

I want to take a microphone and split it to 2 separate mixers. one is for a looper and the other is the main mix.  any way i can achieve this with the buffered splitter?

Does it need to be buffered?  Maybe it could be passive with no noticeable effect.  Mics don't have the loading treble loss guitar pickups do.  Also modern mic inputs have a higher impedance than old ones.  And the signal is so low, the first thing you want it to hit is a low noise preamp, otherwise the noise from your buffer will be multiplied by the ~35db the mic has to have to get it up to line level.

If I'm missing something, and it looks like you can't get away with passively splitting the signal, the term you'd want to search for is a microphone "distribution amplifier".

Transformer isolated would do the trick.
