1.6.3 Via a Patch Bay
In most professional setups, processors are racked and then installed as
part of a patch bay system. This makes it easier to make connections,
because you don‟t need to go behind the rack to plug and unplug cables.
Patch bays are usually made up of modules with 2 jacks in the front, one
over the other, and two jacks (or solder terminals, or DB25, etc) on the
back. For the sake of this manual, we‟ll assume you‟re using a ¼” TRS
patch bay with jacks on the front and back.
You do not want to normal the inputs and outputs from the compressor to
each other. This will create a feedback loop. Converting a half-normal
module to a non-normaled module is sometimes as simple as rotating the
module in the patch bay. See the manual for your patch bay.
Cables Needed:
(1)
XLR Male to ¼” TRS Male
(2)
XLR Female to ¼” TRS Male
Steps:
1.
Patch from the bottom back jack on the patch bay module to the input
on the FET III using the ¼” TRS to XLR Male cable.
2.
Patch to top jack of the patch bay module from the output of the FET
III using the XLR Female to ¼” TRS cable.
3.
Now you can patch into the compressor from the front of the patch
bay. Simply run a patch cable from your source and into the bottom
