Patch Bay
All consoles include fully integrated, fully balanced TT (bantam) patch bays that provide access to the
signal flow of various console and studio systems. In the standard configuration the “Channel Bay”
contains 14 patch points in the channel signal flow. The “System Bay” contains patch points for program,
multitrack, & auxiliary buses, stereo returns, 2500C Bus Compressor, monitoring, cues, effects, and
external studio audio devices.
Patch bays for consoles with frames for 32 thru 64 channels can be mounted onboard the console or
mounted externally. Patch bays for consoles frames larger that 64 channels must be externally mounted.
Optional Work Station-Producer’s Desk
An optional producer’s desk can be specified at the time the order for the console is placed. The
producer’s desk is designed to support a DAW workstation and/or work surface to help integrate analog
and digital audio workflow. Because the producer’s desk is built into the frame, it must be specified
before the console is built.
