1/4" patchbay that can take speaker output?

[0175westwood29]

want to put my amps at home in to a patch bay so i can quickly go between them, both for input and output and send them to my two notes captor or other load box down the line.

 

will a standard trs patch bay take the load?

How much power do you want push through it? I'd say no, or modify the lines accordingly: 1.0 - 1.5 mm2 wires to the power lines, neat soldering, and everything well marked.

 

Because err is so human, it might be feasible to have a separate power patch bay. Speakons...

Would all be lower than 200w so can have these hooked up into the patch bay and move the two notes between them when needed.

Standard jack normalised patch bay? How are the connections made at the back? Hardwired or jack sockets?

 

Personally I wouldn't risk it. There's always the chance that you'll plug in something inappropriate, or you'll create a short with half-inserted plugs.

 

If you want the connections in an accessible place use a single row blank patch panel and populate it with Speakon connectors and label them clearly. Then use appropriate cables to make up all the connections.

This might suit your needs?

I bought one of these, three amps to one speaker. Not cheap, but I'd rather not take chances with the amps or anything else. I'm very happy with it.

I built my own 2-way selector with a large Hammond box and a mains toggle switch. A 3-way would obviously need a switch like the unit @Doctor J has but other than needing the appropriate drill bits it was very straightforward.

 

And a good excuse to break out the soldering iron, as always
