Patchbay Normalisation (no z because im english)

[jimmyc]

Hey there, I was recently given an old patchbay by a comapny called thatched cottage audio. It is a 2u 32 channel peice of gear, but it isnt normalised, I was just wondering is there a way to normalise it with some soldering or somethng? cheers

More than likely. I use Switchcraft long frame type which all connections and normaling, half normaling stuff is done by soldering three jumpers to the appropriate posts. Got pictures of this beast?

 

[jimmyc]

No unfortunatly. It would help, Ill try and sort some out. I think it is half normalising I want to achieve. I want to use it for my channel insert. Thanks jimmy

For it to function as an insert, you want fully normaled. If you have a VOM it shouldn't take too long to figure out how to do it.

Sorry, this may sound really silly but what is a VOM? Thanks for your help Track Rack.

A Volt/ Ohm Meter. If you had to ask, I guess it's a safe bet you don't have one. You would use one to trace the continuity through the thing to figure out how to do what you want to do.

Ahh
I do have one, In the Uk we call them multi-meters or simple ohm meters or volt meters. I spose I should have worked that out really! Sorry! I did an electronics module as part of my dgree and used them a fair bit. Once again Track Rat you have been most helpful, thankyou for your time.
