Reply To: H8000FW: are 1/4 inch in/out jacks balanced when TRS plug is used?

Sorry this got so confusing – the routing I am looking at is:  Switchcraft StudioPatch 9625 DB25 outputs to H8000FW analog inputs (on combo jacks).  Those channels on the patch bay are fed by other analog lines.

I had a spare DB25<->TRS snake, and wanted to know if this would preserve balance if the TRS was connected to the H8000FW inputs (would have avoided purchasing a DB25<->XLRM snake).  Seems it does not so I got an additional DB25<->XLRM snake for that.

Understood that the DB25 connect on the H8000FW is dedicated to AES.

Thanks,

Rick
