XLR wall plate question

[tonyton]

i m just going build a "room in a room" (will be used as live room), so there is one wall at the monent made of bricks and concrete, the second wal will be plasterboard on a wooden frame with rockwool inside.
So i just ran into a problem...i will need a wall plate with 4 XLR inputs and 2 headphone inputs in the new live room, and i will need the outputs in the control room.
Does that mean that i need two wall plate? One with female XLR conectors (for the live room) and one with male XLR connectors (for the control room)? If so, how will they be connected to each other? with XLR cables running between the two walls? any help will be appreciated! thanks

Usually you run multicore inside the wall. I'd run 8 or 12 pair multicore, to leave room for future expansion You need a wallplate in the live room, but in the control room you can do a plate, or you can just bring the multicore out of the box and terminate it with plugs directly to your rack, whatever is easiest.

Watch the gender on your wallplate--a send to a headphone amp in the live room would be male if you're using XLR.

This may sound crazy but i was thinking about the same, I have two extra patchbays 1 xlr and 1 1/4" and I have two recording snakes, both xlr and 1/4" so I was just going to use that between the live room and control room. Im hoping it will work, if you folks have any better ideas I would love to hear about them. I seems it should work. Thanks for starting this thread. Braxton
