Only when the final device was pulled off the hum disappeared. Mind you that the sub mixer is powered off so no noise should come through. Then I remembered that the negative (sleeve) side of the devices was of course still connected with the main mixing console. When the devices are connected On a passive or active direct box the hum is pushed down by The Transformers to level which is acceptable, somewhere at minus 68dB

¡The lesson learned is that the noise is still carried through the sleeve pole of the devices, through the powered off sub mixer, all the way up to the main mixing console!
I have a replacement coming in, of the important recording audio device, which comes with proper 1/4" connections. All the unstable devices have RCA outputs.
I love how physics works, especially when it challenges my logic thought

I should also mention that the unstable output devices are connected with the sub mixer through RCA to 1/4" cables, with No stable matching Transformers in between. The cables are 3 meters in length.
When I want to record from the main audio device, I take a passive or active direct box with the active direct box padded to -20dB.

However I am tired of constantly switching between the sub mixer which is very handy, for all my instruments and a direct connection to the main console which costs me two XLR connectors, and literally two mics less to connect
The cables are of 3m in length which is within the parameters of an instrument cable that should be no more than 6 - 9 meters. This means the cables are not picking up any noise from the environment

There are hundreds of ways of connecting an effect to your mixing console. There is one way to connect an effect to my sub mixer
When you use the Auxiliary busses you have to send the signal through a tip/sleeve cable to the effect, then return the signal to the console Aux return Channel. For a stereo effect you need to use two Aux busses.
Your console has send Pot. meters and return Pot. meters for every bus.

Just like with built in effects your Send is decided by Aux Send your Return is decided by Aux Return which gives The amount of decibels dB of the effect in the mix
If your console only has two Aux busses you can either use both for the stereo effect, or use one for two discrete effects if you do not wish to daisy chain them. You will then have two parallel effects which can be used layered on your whole mix.

In case you've used your monitor outputs on your console for a headphone Amp & you need one Aux bus to send a signal to a separate monitor on the ground, you will only be able to use mono effects in your mix using Aux bus two. I would advise you to use the headphone output from your sub mixer to feed your headphone amp.
You may also connect your effect using an insert cable so that it works dedicated only on one channel

The insert cable uses the tip as the Aux Send and the ring as the Aux Return
As you can see the possibilities are quite vast since it is very very easy to connect your beautiful effects from your Effect Rack to your console.

I've got this wonderful article here which explains it to the letter
Wiring inserts
Console insert end get's wired like this...
TRS:
Tip=send positive
Ring=return positive
Sleeve=neutral ground
