| Patchbay question: Routing/wiring headphone outs every which-way? Can someone check my logic here? To increase flexibility when routing phone mixes (to various live room snakes), I'm wiring my Rane HC-6 headphone amp into a simple TRS balanced 1/4" patchbay (that ubiquitous Neutrik one with the swappable cards, forget the model number... SPP something?). Question is - can I use the patchbay to route stereo headphone mixes from the 1/4" stereo outs of the Rane to my snake sends (1/4" TRS balanced, although one of my snakes has XLR sends which I've converted to 1/4" TRS with an adapter) on ONE TRS pathcbay jack per stereo out? Hope I'm explaining this clearly. To put it another way, I just need to check my logic here regarding TRS balanced mono cables vs. TRS cables that are carrying unbalanced stereo signal. Obviously, the bay is balanced; but I'd be connecting the Rane stereo outs using TRS cables - so, each SINGLE jack on the bay would be carrying an (unbalanced?) stereo signal. In other words, I plan on NOT splitting the signal into separate mono cables (in order to avoid using two rows of the patchbay for L and R). Capiche? Is this do-able, or am I opening myself up to all sorts of noise/crosstalk? Adam

 | Yes, you can bring up headphone signals on your patch bay. I do it all the time and I don't have any problem with crosstalk or noise. Your standard mic snakes will also pass headphone signal without any problem, unless you have silly runs longer than 300 feet... |

| Thanks Chris, yeah I use long box-end snakes to send headphone mixes too. Ok, as an update, I just went ahead and tried this out. Seems to work! I love answering my own questions. Back to whatever you were doing... Adam
