Specifically, wiring the patchbay (whether solder, punchblock, or whatever) yourself is a huge money saver, as is building the cables yourself.

So, that all may sound a little disheartening, but there are things you can do to minimize the cost. I’d say the standard is probably ADC, they have a bajillion different variations and are of a very high quality. greater functional density per square inch) and more robust than 1/4” jacks and plugs.ģ. If you’re going to go the distance and get a patchbay, it’s best to do it right- in other words, I’d go trs/balanced, and I wouldn’t use 1/4” at all, but rather Tiny Telephone/bantam.

Unfortunately, there’s no real workaround or alternative and the outlay will be in the hundreds if not thousands of dollars, depending on scale and quality.Ģ.
