What's the most economical way to pull this off? I'm using all 8 mic ports and just need one more.

Connect two (identical) mics to one input? Otherwise you'll have to get an adat mic pre for several 100 $$ (which then gives you 8 extra channels, most likely).

How do you do that? Just a splitter of some kind?

The elegant solution requires signal transformers to manage impedances. The ‘in a pickle’ solution simply has two female XLR plugs to a male XLR plug. To check sound quality deterioration (due to the lower impedance the mics will see) record something first with one mic connected and then with two (the second mic muffled). Compensate for the lower level with two mics.

Or you can shop for the cheapest two mic input mixer you can find and use that for a submix.
