Owner’s Manual

SIGNAL FLOW IN YOUR TRS PATCHBAY

The ow of signal through a patchbay module is affected by both

physical connections and mode setting (Normaled or Half-

Normaled.) The most common conguration for a patchbay is for

signals to come in to the patchbay from the top rear connections,

and out of the patchbay from the bottom rear connections.

Conversely, on the front of the patchbay, the top row connections

are outputs and the bottom row connections are inputs.

With jacks connected to the top rear and bottom rear of

a single patchbay module, signals coming into a top rear

connection are passed directly through to the output on the

bottom rear, as shown here. This connection style should

be used for your hardware’s “default” conguration - the way

you want your signals to ow on a day-to-day basis.

When no jacks are connected to the top connections of a module, a

signal from the front bottom input is passed through to the rear bottom

output.

When all four jacks are connected to a patchbay module, a signal

connected to a rear top input of the patchbay is passed to the front top

output, while signal from the the front bottom input is passed to the

rear bottom output.

NORMALED OPERATION

When a module is set to Normaled and connections are made to the

top rear and top front jacks, the signal is passed through from the

top rear to the top front - breaking the connection shown in gure 1.

A Normaled conguration allows you to run several devices in series by

using patch cables on the front of the patchbay to interconnect several

of your devices. For example, you could run a signal from a preamp, to a

compressor, and nally to a reverb. A cable inserted into the bottom

rear will have its connection connection broken when a cable is

inserted into the top front.

HALF-NORMALED OPERATION

When a module is set to Half-Normaled and connections are made

to the rear top, rear bottom, and front top jacks, the signal is passed

through from the top rear to the top front - without breaking the con-

nection shown in gure 1.

This allows you to use the patchbay as a mult (splitter), sending the signal

coming into the patchbay to two different destinations; very useful for

parallel processing of your signal and monitoring applications. Inserting

a cable in to the front bottom jack of a half-normaled module will break

the connection between the rear jacks.

TRS PATCHBAY TIPS

We advise against connecting a single device, interface, or outboard

processor to a single module’s vertically-connected set of patch points.

In other words, don’t connect both the Input and Output of a delay unit on

module 1 of your patchbay - that would could create a feedback loop. Use

separate modules for a single devices inputs and outputs.

Furthermore, doing so severely limits the convenience of a patchbay. It

also forces you to use more patch cables, and increases the minimum

length of the signal chain. In reality it is more convenient to wire the

normalling scheme around the way that your particular studio is wired

and will most commonly be used, and to modify those connections by

breaking patches from the front of the patchbay when something other

than the “standard” conguration for your studio is desired.

Based on our experience, basing patchbay wiring on thru connections

(without internal normaling) is quick and easy. That said, we’ve found

that using a normalled or half-normalled conguration based on the

most commonly-used processing chains in your studio saves a lot of

time in the long run.

We advise against running phantom power through a TRS patchbay, as

this makes it possible to send phantom power to a device not designed

to handle it; expensive damage could result!

Patchbays

PBR TRS

PBR TRS-BT

PBR XLR

The PBR TRS and PBR TRS-BT Patchbays both offer 96 points

of connectivity for your studio gear, allowing for permanent

installation and routing of your favorite hardware while still

allowing for exible and creative patching.

The PBR TRS and PBR TRS-BT Patchbays both offer Normalled and

Half-Normalled operation, switchable from the rear of the unit on a

per-module basis. A module, in this context, is any set of vertically-

aligned jacks on the patchbay; front and back.

The functionality of the PBR TRS and PBR-TRS-BT are identical,

apart from the Bluetooth connection available on the PBR TRS-BT,

discussed below.

A typical patchbay conguration will have device outputs sent to

the top rear row of patch points with device Inputs connected to

the rear bottom row. For example, you would connect the Input of

a delay unit or compresssor to a rear bottom row connection of the

patchbay, and its Output to a rear top row conection.

PBR TRS-BT BLUETOOTH

CONNECTION

Once you have installed your PBR TRS-BT where you need

it, plug it in to an appropriate power source. Note: The

power supply is only needed for Bluetooth audio.

Plug in your equipment to the correct outlets on the

PBR TRS-BT.

Once the power supply is pluged into the power inlet, the

PBR TRS-BT Bluetooth is active. To sync your device to the

PBR TRS-BT, press and hold the Bluetooth Sync button.

Once the Bluetooth Status LED has started to blink,

devices are able to nd the PBR TRS-BT via Bluetooth

connection.

To sync another device to the PBR TRS-BT, press and hold

the Bluetooth Sync button.

1. Power Inlet: Connect power supply here. Power is only

necessary for Bluetooth connection.

2. Bluetooth Sync: This button operates the Bluetooth

Sync. Press and hold this button to set the PBR TRS-BT

to “sync mode”, when connecting new devices.

3. Bluetooth Status: When this LED is blinking, the PBR

TRS-BT is ready to be paired. When this LED is lit, the

PBR TRS-BT is synced to a device.

4. Bluetooth Left Output: This TRS jack outputs the left

channel of the Bluetooth audio.

5. Bluetooth Right Output: This TRS jack outputs the right

channel of the Bluetooth audio.

1. Balanced 1/4” TRS connection: Accepts 1/4” jacks for connecting

and routing your audio gear. Accepts balanced (TRS) and unbal-

anced (TS) connections.

2. Normal/Half-Normaled Switch: Toggles the routing for the select-

ed channel between Normal and Half Normaled operation. Switch

in = Normal, Switch out = Half-Normal.
