I want to use the MR816x 1/2 inserts as inputs (bypassing the MR816x pre-amp)
Now if i put my Digisnake TRS all the way in, weird enough I do have a signal, but the harder i drive it the softer it gets, if i put it half way in (till the first click) the digi tip touches the correct strip on the insert and it works. The connection is quite sturdy and there is no crackling or anything.
2 questions here:
-Why do i still get signal (though faulty) when i insert the plug all the way?
- is it ok to use a balanced TRS connection this way? half way in? my levels are fine, so no issues there, or should i replace the TRS with a TS plug?
