OMG, I'm just so confused. Please help me out. Here is my set up -> FX unit into Mixer Mixer - has ONE Aux Send (needs 1/4" impedance balanced jack-type output) Mixer - has TWO Returns (needs 1/4" unbalanced phone jack-type inputs) FX Unit - has TWO 1/4" balanced jack analog inputs FX Unit - has TWO 1/4" balanced jack analog outputs I think this is what I need to do: 1) "Balanced" line with "Mono" jacks to connect Mixer (ONE Aux Send) to FX (LEFT analog input) - Is this correct??? 2) What do I use to connect the two FX "Balanced" Outputs to the two Mixer "Unbalanced" Returns??? Balanced or Unbalanced lines??? With Mono or Stereo Jacks??? Thanks in advance!!! |

Giving us the make and model of your mixer might help us give a more useful reply |

There is no real mystery here and the brand of equipment really has no bearing for this simple reason. TRS jacks are electronically balanced, so if you plug in a mono plug, they simply turn into an unbalanced output. For short runs you could use a simple T/S cable for both input and output. If it makes you feel better you could use a T/R/S from your mixer to your FX device and a T'S cable from your FX device back to your mixer. |

Thanks LondonLive! I ended up using a TRS cable to connect the Mixer's 1 Aux Send to the FX's Left Input and the 2 TS cables to connect the FX's 2 Outputs to the Mixer's 2 Returns. Moonrider, My Mixer is the Yamaha MG102c http://www.zzounds.com/item--YAMMG102C My FX unit is the TC Electronic M300 http://www.tcelectronic.com/m300.asp |
