I have this friend you see. Really it's a friend. . . . I have this consulting job for a friend you see and I actually have to deal with these neutrik patchbays and a mackie 32-8. Now the problem is unlike normal patchbays these things have cards. I got all the configurations except the stupid "split" configuration which is a terminology not used in the normal world, it must be a neutrikism. I'm guessing it is the same as "mult" or "multiple" if you must. Now you see folks, the wackie has these stupid ass TRS insert points and I'm trying to save this poor bastard some money so he doesn't have to buy a shitload of those stupid ass TRS y-cables that split the tip and such into their respective such and suches. Now I figured some of you around these parts have dealt with these stupid chinsy contraptions and the neutrik website is completely unhelpful and i don't have time to do massive research and of course this guy thinks I am now and idiot because he's using a peice of shit patchbay that has no correlation to the real world of patchbays and a stupid mixer that has no correlation to the real world of consoles. So as I look at this stupid diagram it looks like with the "white" part if placed on the rear bottom "splits" (jesus) the signal to the front top and front bottom of the patchbay. Now is this just a "mult" or does it actually split it into the tip and ring portion of the signal with hopefully tip on top and ring on bottom. See what I'm getting at, I'm trying to take his insert point and use one TRS cable only and have the send portion on the front top and the return portion on the front bottom of the patchbay. I followed the traces on the PCB while taking some PCP so i couldn't quite tell but it looked like it was a mult. If this is the case does neutrik sell PCP eeeer, PCB's that can be configured with TRS insert points? that'd be a lot cheaper that using y cabling. thanks and if any of you are any help i promise my next five posts well be dripping with the upmost sweetness.
