Questions & Answers
Question:
Why is the patchbay still outputting signal to the normal destination when a patchcord is plugged in?
Answer:
The normal screw may be set to the half normal position. Set it to full normal or non-normal and the
output will go only to the patchcord.
Question:
Why are the inputs on the top row and the outputs on the bottom row when it should be reversed?
Answer:
Make sure that any cables going to and coming from the StudioPatch are reaching their desired inputs
and/or outputs.
Question:
If I engage phantom power on my mixing console, will it pass through StudioPatch Series patchbays?
Answer:
Yes, it will.
Question:
Since phantom power runs through the whole patchbay, will it affect devices that I have plugged into
the patchbay other than condenser microphones?
Answer:
No, it should not.
Question:
If some of the channels should become "scratchy" sounding should I use contact cleaner, other
solvents, or a burnishing tool to clean the jack contacts?
Answer:
No! You may damage the material that the jacks are made up of. Instead rotate the cam screw back
and forth which will wipe the contacts clean inside, or insert and remove repeatedly a nickel plated
patchcord (not brass). The contacts in StudioPatch Series patchbays are designed to be self-cleaning.
Question:
Can I open up the patchbay to modify the wiring?
Answer:
You can, but in doing so, you will void the warranty.
Question:
Can I use the half-normalled jack position to split / monitor AES/EBU digital signals?
Answer:
No. It is not recommended. (See AES/EBU section)
