Instead of having to dig through the spaghetti on the back of your rack to change signal paths, you can do that on the front of the rack with all the connections neatly lined up.

Bryan, never mind Jake. He's just a bit cranky - probably has a headache or something. Ask away...somebody will talk to you here. And using the Search function works pretty good too.

Well you'd be cranky too if you had a face like that!!!
