  • Page 9: Why A Half Insert

    Why a Half Insert? Insert Jack signals have 3 components: a Send, a Return, and a Ground. If you fully insert a mono cable, the lack of a Return will cause the signal to ground out. By using the Half Insert technique, you will ensure that only the Send continues through the mixer and you will not shut off the channel strip.
