Signal loss using Y-splitters ?

I started recording using a 2-channel audio interface. If I connect XLR Y-splitters to each input, will there be loss of signal strength or any other odd happenings, or can I assume that I'll be able to get 4 inputs of the same quality as original. I realize it won't be 4 separate channels and just 4 inputs, 2 channels.

An electronic device that consists of a Radio Frequency (RF) signal splitter, preceded by an RF amplifier that compensates for the RF loss of the splitter. Used to allow one antenna to feed several receivers.

In wireless microphones, a device that divides an RF signal into two or more equal signals while maintaining the desired impedance at the input and outputs. For live audio applications a splitter functions in much the same way for providing signal feeds to both the console and to a recording device.

I was using a friend's mixer to route my output signal to powered monitors as well as to a standard home stereo. My friend needed his mixer back. Is there any budget alternatives to listen route my signal to the monitors and to the stereo speakers? Somewhere around $50 USD?

Some kind of Y-cable?
Line-splitter?
Monitor management device?
Some kind of aux-box?
