Inserts

I have an Alesis IO|2 which features a TRS insert jack on each channel. As there are not seperate send and receive jacks I am assuming that each jack is both send and receive.

Please advise.
 
Yes, it's an in/out on a stereo type 1/4" connector. Check with the units documentation for the pin out of which is send and which is receive.

These inserts are used to break the connection after the pre-amp (send) and before the eq/fader (return)

The send goes to , say ,the input to a compressor and the output of the compressor goes to the return.

Or

You can only use the return as an ouboard pre-amp input (to bypass the stock board pre-amps).

These insert signals will be unbalanced, but will make no difference if the cables are kept way short (as they are in most setups).

Insert cables are available at most music stores of any value.
