Millenium PB48

It's a patchbay, it's nothing fancy. If you're the sort of person interested in gold connectors and audiofile wotsits, then you wouldn't be looking at purchasing this patchbay.

If you want something cheap, reliable, does the job, then this right here is value for money.

Only thing I will add is that the documentation confused the absolute hell out of me at the time. I've had it so long now, that I forget what the exact issue was, something about how the normalization worked, I think. But I got past that hump, and it's been happy patching ever since.

It doesn't feel like top-notch quality, but you can't expect it to for the price. All I wanted was reliability, and I've got that.

To spare some of you the research:
To get this to work half-normalized, pop out the two flathead screws on the front panel and take the panel off. You'll see every channel is a detachable card. Take each of those out and switch them around, so that the grey jack is on the bottom of the front panel.

There is no video on Youtube on how to do that on this exact model but there is one about the Neutrik NYS-SPP-L1 patchbay which works just like this one does.

More expensive patchbays allow you to flick a switch for each channel to change the behaviour, for these cheap ones you'll need to pop them open.
