Re: [ARSCLIST] patchbay question
There exist some fabrication houses that pre-wire these jack assemblies to
order. You might Google "studio integrators" or the like.

Checked em already. Neither seems to have a pre-made solution. All require
wiring. I was trying to avoid hours with the soldering iron or punchdown
tool but there may be not option if I want to use old-school patchcords on
the front.
Cost-wise, especially considering the value of my time, it's probably a
much better deal to just buy a decent-grade "headphone" type panel with
switchable normalling and just buy a pack or two of the "new school"
patchcords. And there's also the fact that 5 years of scrambling behind
racks and tape decks when I need to change something for a specific job
hasn't resulted in one problem yet. In fact, I had one client specifically
request that everything be direct-connected with the shortest cable
lengths possible and he provided his own super-priced wires. I smiled and
bit my tongue from mentioning that the sound ultimate travels on both ends
over tiny traces on circuit boards and inside even tinier chips.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] patchbay question
Sorry in advance for the cross-postings.
Does anyone make a patchbay panel that allows use of old-school
telephone type 1/4" (not bantam) TRS cables on the front panel and has
newer-school "headphone" type 1/4" TRS jacks on the back panel? And I'd
want swichable normaling between top and bottom rows, option available
for each top-bottom pair. I can't find any such beast in my googling.
Seems like if it's got "headphone" jacks on the back, that's what's used
on the front. I'm looking for a stock solution here, if it's gotta be
hundreds of dollars custom to get what I want then it becomes worth the
labor-time to just solder-wire my own panels.
Thanks in advance for any/all tips.
