Hey all,

I am just getting ready to wire up a few Audio Accessories TT patchbays for my studio and I have a couple of questions. First what kind of wire is recommended for the normalling contacts? I have seen what looks to be like twisted pair for phones being used for this. Would this wire be ok? Or should I just use the cabling that I am using for the rest of my install?

Second question is what kinds of "Features" should I put into this patchbay? I am planning on some pads, mults, and phase rev. Any tips, advice, words of caution etc. would be of great help.


Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave.

First what kind of wire is recommended for the normalling contacts?

Either you can use the same cabling, or use console wire. To stay consistant, I'd probably use the same wire (eg: Mogami).

I don't know what your setup is, but I'd have all your inserts (Send/Return), Tie Lines (for outboard), Multi-track send/return, Mic &/or Line inputs depending on your setup, and a few others.
