Pro Co IPTBQXFXM-5

A type of “Y” cord, insert patch cables allow mixing consoles to send/return signals to an outboard effect processor, say a digital reverb. Typically the I/O (inputs/outputs) start as a T/R/S 1/4” output jack on the mixing console. Sends typically go through the tip and returns through the ring and there is a common ground, the sleeve. The cable needs to be wired properly and each end needs to be identi?ed for the user, to ensure proper hook-ups.

Pro Co 2120SM patch cable with spiral shield with a ShowSavers T/R/S male connector to a Neutrik female (send) and a Neutrik male (return). Wired tip on the T/R/S to pin 2 on the female XLR and ring on the T/R/S to pin 2 on the male LXR. Pins 1 and 3 are bridged on the XLRs. These are rarely used today only when the processor uses unbalanced XLR I/Os.
