Hey guys.

I am having a few issues with some Purple actions.

The inserts on my desk are unbalanced send/balanced return. The problem I am running into, I suspect is the input transformer on the Purple actions. With no -ve portion connected, the transformer isn't terminated... so... no signal through the compressor. In bypass it operates fine, but that is because it bypasses everything (transformers included).

What is the best way to terminate the input transformer to prevent hum, etc? Currently it is being patched through a patchbay?


I suspect perhaps?

patchbay                                action
 
  +VE                ->                +VE
  GND                ->                -VE
  SHIELD            ->              Floating
