Signex Cpj48j Studio Patchbay
Product Info
The original Isopatch has been a best seller since it's debut in 1983.
The new Isopatch retains the design strengths of its predecessor, but now has 48 jacks that are of a new, fully enclosed design. The new jack design helps to keep out the contaminants that shorten contact life, they also have a smart chromed ring which gives an improved "feel" when plugging and unplugging as well as looking pretty cool!
The new Isopatch still has all sockets mounted on two horizonta printed circuit boards (PCBs), rather than vertical cards that can sometimes pop out in use. This type of construction makes the ispoatch very solid and gives full access to most of the circuitry including parallel points and the special "program pads" for normalising. The use of flexible jumper cables between top and bottom PCBs means that the Isopatch can be opened up for servicing if needed. Unlike many patch panels, the Isopatch offers half or full normalising on ever channel, by simply soldering across special "program pads" on the top PCB - No special tools are needed and there's nothing to take apart. In fact, the Isopatch is already installed, you don't even have to unplug the rear connectors.
The Isopatch can be used for most types of audio signal inclusing mono, stereo, balanced and unbalanced lines. It can also be used for mixer insert points without the need for special "splitter" leads. Standard rear connector options are Jack, RCA phono and Direct Solder. Add to this a cery slick labelling system for designation of the front sockers and you can see why many refer to the new Isopatch as the Ultimate Patch Panel.
