Stupid Question of the Day: Output connected to Output

[Clbraddock]

I accidentally mixed up a couple DB25 connectors on an Apollo X16 and sent a line level output signal into the outputs of a couple 1176, Capi VP28, and Daking mic pre. Since it was a relatively low voltage signal, I'm assuming things should be okay, but some reassurance would make me feel better.

you'll be fine.

Well designed gear should be able to survive modest output backwash, but in general it is not good practice so maybe label the connectors better to prevent future mistakes.
