TRS Inserts
Some mixing consoles use a single jack to perform both send and return functions. In this case the jack
would use tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) wiring, with one of the signal wires performing the Send function, the
other being used for the Return. Both Send and Return share the common ground wire. For TRS inserts, it
is common to use a “Y” cable, one that has a TRS plug on one end and then a split into two mono tip-sleeve
(TS) cables on the other.

A typical insert cable is wired as seen below:
Insert cable wiring
Using a TRS insert, the DSP effects device would have the insert Send cable plugged into its input and the
insert Return cable plugged into its output. This wiring completes the signal loop without interrupting the
audio being played though the console.
