[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 99827, member: 126"] Re: Insert Jack question. True insert jacks on an AUX send would be before the AUX output fader. Adding an insert is more than soldering, the send needs to be buffered, and return differential. Unless I am missing something you just want to patch a piece of rack gear in series with your output. Perhaps a pair of TRS jacks with switch contacts on tip and ring of the second (return) jack that normal through from the first (send) jack. The typical mixer insert jack uses the tip and ring switch to break an internal unbalanced path with a single jack. To keep it balanced requires two jacks... You can wire it up so patching into the standard send jack does not break the path, but patching into the return jack does, or you could use two switching jacks so patching into either breaks the path. JR PS Limiting on monitor send? The customer is always right... :-) [/QUOTE]
