The rear panels of the StudioPatch Series (6425 and 9625) have a total of either eight or twelve female
25 Pin DB25 (or DSUB) connectors depending on whether you have purchased the 64 or 96 point
versions. The top row of connectors are for inputs, and the bottom row are for outputs. Each DSUB can
carry eight channels of balanced analog audio, or sixteen channels of AES/EBU standard digital audio.
Example 1
Example
1
shows a StudioPatch Series (6425) connected to four DA
W
(digital audio wor
k
station)
interfaces and a mixing console. All units have DB25
I
/
O’
s. This configuration is giving patchbay access
to channels
1
through
3
2 of the mixing consoles analog inputs, and
1
through
3
2 of the DA
W’
s analog
outputs. This enables a user to reroute signals (via patchcord) to different areas.
O
utboard devices can
also be added to individual channels of the patchbay for even more flexibility.
I
n this example, the
normalling screw would most li
k
ely be set to either the half normal (
"H"
) position, or full normal (
"F"
).
I
n either of these cases, when there is no patchcord plugged in, the normal signal passes through the
channel of the patchbay as if the inputs and outputs were directly connected.
StudioPatch Series patchbays can be placed in
-
between your source and destination gear. The outputs of
your source gear can connect directly to the inputs of the StudioPatch Series.
C
onversely, the outputs of
the StudioPatch Series can be connected to the inputs of your destination gear (See Example
1
).
Note: See Pages 10-13 for "Normals" definitions and explanations.
