So I got a 10 U 500 series rack that has 8 channels of DB25... Can I use the XLR ins and outs for the last 2 tracks while the DB25 is connected? Or are they assuming I'll have some 2u 500 units?

Q1 Is there a schematic or wiring diagram available with the unit?
Q2 What make and model is it?

Shouldn't be much of a problem since neither Jack is going to be a switching jack, but honestly for flexibility and simplicity I would grab a patchy!

if it's connected to something, then you're making a parallel connection, so assuming the impedances are the same, divide the impedance by 2 to get your new lower impedance. Is it a problem? Probably not. Is it mic pre? Is there 48V present? Then it might be.

This is more a question of routing the 8 DB25s and 2 XLR channels into my existing patchbays. Unless you mean something completely different  |

This will absolutely work but be aware, splitting outputs is generally fine however splitting inputs can cause all types of loading issues. |

So its ok to use the 8 channels with the DB25, and XLR to 1/4" in and out on the last 2 channels? |
