My concern is that if it were like 4 or 5 conductor cable, there would be interference of some kind since nothing would be shielded from each other in this instance.

I'm basically trying to solution a way to get an in-ear signal and guitar output on the same cord w/ out something as wonky as zip ties & two cables (doesn't coil nicely and feels like too much stress on the cable). Two separate cables is strangely way more tripping hazard than the math would suggest, but everyone who's tracked in headphones in a studio knows this already.

This cable does exactly what I want but gets bad reviews for longevity (which should be zero surprise considering who owns this company now). I was thinking 5 pin XLR on both ends into the smallest possible splitter box. So clipped to guitar strap or belt, the guitar would have a short plug-in and then the in-ears too & the multi-conductor cable sends it down to the pedal board side, there to be split back out in to the pedalboard for the guitar and the headphone amp.

you can get cable with pairs that are independently shielded - if it's stranded, longevity may be okay.

Something like this, but look for braided shield instead of the foil - but if it's flexible enough for automation, should be good for you

Try the 5 conductor single shield first, if it works out then maybe plunk down the bucks for something like https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/sh ... ul-07-05-1

Yeah that's the entire plan - a small splitter amp like this guy parked on the pedal board. Vocals just go straight there and then out to the board & then he can hear his vocals in in-ears as loud as he wants w/out any feedback problems and then still keep one cable just like he would have normally w/ his guitar. I have done a similar thing myself having wired in-ears & found that having two cables somehow exponentially increases the tripping/tangling.

Honestly really what I'm trying to avoid is the expense of a wireless in-ears rig as well as keeping the whole package small and as plug-&-play as possible.

We were talking about this at practice today, now that the guitarist and I are going to split vocal duties. He mentioned his dad gave him some wireless guitar dongle thing and we were wondering if it would be possible to use those to transmit the output from the splitter/headphone amp to the in-ears, so no extra cable besides the in-ear one.

Maybe something like this, but have an adapter so the in-ears can plug into the receiver.

It's a Vox... but with a replaced neck pickup.
Something like this https://reverb.com/item/4632827-1968-vo ... -eko-viper

If you pause exactly at 19:14 or 19:15 you can just barely read Vox on the headstock.
