What does a patchbay do?

 

[bennychico11]

it's a central location you run all your gear to. an analog patch bay has patch points on the front allowing you to use a small cable to send signal to all the rest of your gear. Much easier than trying to get behind all your gear and switch cables around every time you want to do something.
