Patchbay Guidelines
Instrument Inputs (AWS 924 Only)
It is not recommended that the ‘Instrument’ inputs are broken out to a patchbay. These inputs are unbalanced and have a
high input impedance so, to help avoid the pickup of noise and interference, cable lengths should be kept at short as possible.
Line Level Input/Outputs
All other analogue inputs and outputs can be connected via a patchbay. It is recommended that the cable shield is connected
at the console end and disconnected at the patch row to avoid ground loops. Wiring to the installation should normally have
t
he shield connected to the patch row. The shield connection of all jacks should be linked together (note that patch rows
with solid metal front panels will automatically do this) and then linked to a common star point on the patchbay. This
starpoint can then be returned – via a thick grounding cable (6mm sq. or greater) – to the chassis stud on the rear of the
AWS console. This will reduce the risk of earth loops within the installation.
The screen pins of all analogue inputs and outputs – with the exception of the microphone inputs – are connected directly to
the chassis of the AWS924/48.
Mic Inputs
If Microphone inputs are to be connected via a patchbay, the type of patch-row used should be of the insulated variety
where the jack screens are not connected to the main body of the patch-row – there are commercially available patch-rows
that meet this requirement. The ground connection from each microphone must be linked through the patch jacks to the
XLR on the back of the console without interruption.
