this pcb top side not made as mirror.

Hi,
Great and simple solution for this problem. Thank you!
I made another schematic largely based on yours to make a solution for 1 XLR balanced input to 2x unbalanced mono on TRS jack.
I need this setup since the device, I use, expects a stereo signal unbalanced on TRS jack.
So, I split the input signal from the XLR in 2 and make use of the second amp in the BA4560 IC. The 2 outputs which are identical go then to the T and R of the Jack with a common S.
On my PCB I made 2 XLR inputs with 2 TRS (mono) outputs.
But something went wrong:
On XLR input 1 I have the output T that works fine, the other output R is distorted and a bit quieter.
On XLR input 2 I have the output R that works fine, but the T is distorted (exactly the same as the output R in input 1).
The potentiometers work fine on all outputs.
I made the pcb almost entirely with SMD components in order to minimise pcb surface.
I cannot publish the schematics here … any suggestion what could be wrong? Might there be a component broken?
