My Spirit Folio SX has unbalanced direct sends. I ordered a 56-pin
EDAC to 16 1/4 inch trs snake. It will arrive this week. I will be
using it to hook up an ADAT. (Insert disparaging comments about ADATs
here)

Will I need to short the ring and sleeve together on the sends in
order to use the Folio's channel direct outputs? I know one way to
find out is try it and see, but I figure a whole bunch of you have
experience with these cables and ADATs.

Thanks
