So how much crosstalk would there really be in an Insert cable wired with
just one piece of 3 core mic cable? I know this is common practice in
Pro
live systems, but have heard studio engineers frowning about this,
People with no practical experience make up problems that only exist
in theory, and not always very sound application of theory.
The reason for the separate send and return connections over a common
jack is simple. If they're separate, the connections to outboard
equipment can be balanced. There aren't enough conductors in a TRS
jack to do that. There are some advantages, under some conditions, to
using balanced connections but crosstalk isn't one of them.
The particular instance I was thinking of was the Insert cable runs from the
desk, using unbalanced TRS insert points, to a remote patchbay of send and
return patch holes. I'm not yet convinced that the money spent doubling up
the cables in this unbalanced situation would not be better spent on a nice
mic, comp or set of monitors.
