I need to put together some cabling for a soundcraft board I picked up, I'm hoping to use up some materials I have on hand. The inserts on the console are the standard trs break jack to un-balanced TS. My patch bays are located in a small rack/shelf above the console, I've got the insert points wired to one patch bay. It seems obvious that I'd want a second patchbay below that with all the ins and outs of my outboard gear.
Since the signal is already unbalanced on the console inserts, is there any point in using balanced cabling to connect the back of the second patchbay to the rack of outboard gear? I ask because I have a few 8 ch unbalanced snakes that came with the console, so if I can I'd rather re-use those.
Thanks!
