Ah!, you are trying to use the same conductor as an input mixing bus

Sorry. As I said, I'm not an expert, I'm here to learn.

In that case you can't use the virtual-ground method.


As I feared. Comment noted.


I'd forget about using the same conductor for both purposes. Have a
virtual-ground input mixing bus and a separate output bus.


Extra bus is OK. But that would require a separate unit where audio
transfers from the mixer bus to the distribution bus. I wanted to make the
system modular with all units identical. However, it is looking like I need
to provide a "master unit" for my idea to work out.

Your comments/suggestions *are* helpful, BTW.
