Sometimes this will reduce the signal being transmitted, usually because of the laws of physics rather than any flaw in the adaptor, but this shouldn't occur with anything you are proposing at the moment.Most karaoke machines are based around variations of the sort of kit I use, but I have never played with one. The reason why balanced xlr cables were/are popular in music venues and recording studios is that they will carry a signal a long way without degradation. For some applications radio mics are a simpler and more practical solution, but they cost.I think that what you are proposing to do will be interesting to a lot of people. In many ways you are replicating the sort of experiment that early pioneers in telephones carried out. It was the sort of thing that I used to do years ago, the only thing I can say is - be careful - it can become addictive!</blockquote>
