Compressor -> Preamp

[dainbramage]

Can a compressor with balanced XLR I-O's connect to a preamp TRS jack insert?

Preamp insert: 1/4” TRS Phone Jack (Tip/Ring) @ 10dBV (316mVRMS)

You'd need to run it unbalanced, but otherwise, sure. Or just run it in-line.

Not that I'd condone tracking through a compressor (well, not for the sake of managing dynamics anyway).

Short answer, yes.

Whenever I do something like this for the first time, I'll keep the volumes on everything really low to start, and bring them up to make sure nothing gets damaged.
