For exceptional flexibility, check out Audio’s exclusive Quick-Switch™ normalling system. We’ve taken our standard 2x48x2RU, .172” MINI (Bantam/TT) patchbay and brought the Tip, Ring, and Sleeve of each jack out to individual 3-Pin EDAC connectors. Then it’s mounted on the rear of a 3-inch deep “SHORTI” box, with a cabling support tray behind for bundling incoming cables.
The Quick-Switch™ normalling pod (located on the rear of the unit) allows you to set the individual normals on a per jack-pair basis. This enables you to full-normal (FN), half-normal (HN), or non-normal (NN), individual bussed grounds (B) on a per-row basis. You can also have the unit share a common (bussed) ground, or the grounds can be vertically strapped (GVS).
To change any normal, simply pull the panel out from the front and move the Quick-Switch™ shunt to the desired setting.
Mini Shorti Highlights:
96 3-Pin male mating connectors (E3M) and 288 crimp pins supplied with panel.
All units shipped half-normalled unless otherwise specified.
We suggest leaving a 1-foot service loop for ease of changing normalling.

"Makes a lot of difference. Patchbays used to intimidate me, as far as set up, but the boys at Vintage King set it up for me, and it was plug and play." Lee Negin
