Advice - chop 16x4 s**** in 2 / multipin connectors

Hi guys,

I would love to be able to connect my s**** to my mixer via a multipin
connector. The main driver would be to save time setting up for live
gigs.

I have a 16 send / 4 return s**** (all XLRs) which I could use. I'm
wondering whether it's sensible to chop the tails off and wire up a
pair of multipin connectors.

Can someone give me advice on whether this is doable, what skills I'd
need (eg. how good would my soldering have to be), what types of
connector I should use, what are the issues / risks etc.

Cheers,
Steve W
