Beedster Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Can't find any in the UK, might be forced to make my own. Please save me and my family the pain Something like this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) What's the use case? I have an ART P16 which is 16 in/16out but if you need both I/O on the front panel, that configuration wouldn't be much good to you! The rack ears can be flipped so you can have either input or output on the front panel, if that's any use? https://www.thomann.de/gb/art_p16_patchbay.htm https://uk.farnell.com/art/p16/patchbay-16-channel-xlr-balanced Edited March 15, 2023 by Jakester 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Er, and that particular one you have highlighted is available: https://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_pb16_xlr_in_out.htm Is it that you don't want to use Thomann? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Thanks @Jakester I have the Art unit running into a D-25 I/P on a UAD Apollo x8p to which I’ve added a SSL Fusion using the Apollo’s D25 O/P and have 1u left to organise 16 XLRs. I can get surgical on the Art and flip 8 of the I/Os but suspect it’s not as easy as it looks, Thomann were a bit messy last time I ordered, so was hoping there might be somewhere in the UK 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Ah, I see! Sounds like a pain. I'd have thought without that Thomann one it might be time to bust out the soldering iron! This suggests you can switch M and F connections around, but it's in the States: http://www.networksound.com/index.php/products/pbays/xlr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Thanks @Jakester, apparently the way to do an 8-channel flip involves not a soldering iron but a sharp blade. Either way not just one but two tools with which I generally underperform badly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Might have to suck it up with Thomann 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Bought the Thomann thingy @Jakester, thanks for the heads up. Often wonder why patch bays are so deep given that in theory they only need to be the depth of an XLR, at worse an XLR adapter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
