How do I hook up a patch bay?

This question comes up from time to time and I found a handy little diagram to help you out.

Its at: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/pdf.music?p=DBX012

Its the product manual for a dbx patch bay. Its got a decent explaination of patching and a useful diagram for idiots like me.

If the link doesn't work, try this one...

Or just do a search for dbx patch bay on ZZounds and on the right side is a link to a PDF of the manual.

Enjoy!

Patch Bay info

Thanks very much for posting that, C. I'm taking it with me to the studio today and maybe I'll get things up to patch. I can usually understand most of this stuff, but for some reason I have had a mental block with this one little piece of equipment. I think this will help more than any other info and graphs I've seen.

Aaarrgh! Patch bays!

Well, I actually fiddled with my Neutrik patch bay this afternoon, and was able to bring the R/L main outs of my mixer up to patch. But when I tried to add the inputs and outputs of a cassette deck via patch cables, I could only get the R channel to send signal to the deck. I tried a diff cable, same thing. I did notice that the individual circuit cards are rather close to each other, and now wonder if I have to improvise some sort of insulator between each of them, in the event they are shorting the signal. Anyone else experience this? It's bad enough that Neutrik, instead of providing examples of "normalled", "half-normalled", and "de-normalled", gives the most minimal info, and uses alternate situations like "split" and "isolated". I know these are just variations to lend flexibility, but boy, do they do a lousy job of communication. Much cursing ensued.
 
Now that I found it, that was a very very good rescource. Thank you.
 
Thanks for the link! I'm looking for any and all links to such info, as I'm about to need a patch bay and I only vaguely understand what is going on with them.
