Since 1980, Audio Accessories Mini (Bantam/TT) jacks and panels have become our most popular audio patchbays. With capacity for 48 or 52 jacks per row, they make it possible to incorporate more patching into each rack—particularly important in mobile units where space is at a premium. Remember, our audio jacks and panels are manufactured start to finish right here in Marlow, NH, USA, where time stands still and the moose run free!

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:<UL>
<LI>96 3-Pin male mating connectors (E3M) and 288 crimp pins supplied with panel.

<LI>All units shipped half-normalled unless otherwise specified.

<LI>We suggest leaving a 1-foot service loop for ease of changing normalling.

To survive in this modern day audio jungle, the contemporary studio must
 be lithe and agile; a facility that can adapt to any workflow: 
effortlessly. Tracking, mixing and mastering services oftentimes must be
 performed under one roof, utilizing every particle of outboard gear 
available. 
 
The Dangerous Liaison realizes 
this dream by providing unprecedented access to your outboard equipment.
 Connect up to six of your favorite two channel units to the Liaison 
(more if you daisy chain, leverage a patch bay or add a Dangerous 
Master). Instantly audition any device or combination, change the order,
 dial in some parallel processing and then store these customized signal
 paths as presets to use again, on demand, anytime. True hard-wire 
bypass relays remove the gear entirely from the signal path; this 
includes outboard that lacks an integrated bypass or true hard-wire 
bypass. Mastering grade components switch instantly and silently, 
providing true A/B comparisons without coloration or latency. Pre and 
post-processing monitor outputs make it simple to audition between the 
original source and the treated product. 
 
The A and B buss paths aren’t just for comparing signal paths. They can 
be strung together in series. For example, if your favorite EQ (the BAX 
of course) is connected at 1 and a limiter is connected at 5, selecting 5
 from Buss A and 1 from Buss B reverses their order. 
 
Parallel Processing allows the original and effected signals to be 
blended independently. For example: crush the drums with heavy 
compression for tight, explosive impact, while mixing in the original to
 retain transients and dynamics. 
 
Features 
<ul><li>6 Stereo Insert Loops, Assignable to 2 Stereo Busses</li><li>Flexible and Potent Parallel Processing Loop</li><li>Route, Switch, Matrix, Flip & Audition Instantly</li><li>Recall any Tracking, Mixing or Mastering Configuration</li><li>Seamlessly Integrates with Dangerous Master</li></ul>
Application Examples 
<ul><li>Tracking: craft recall-able patches for cutting</li><ul><li>Pop vocals, hip hop, voice overs...</li><li>Kick drums that click, resonate or “thwomp!”</li><li>Bass lines that are rich, liquid, punchy or fat</li><li>Parallel processing with a compressor, Dolby A or...</li></ul><li>Mixing: use it for</li><ul><li>All the tracking tricks above</li><li>And all the mastering examples below</li></ul><li>Mastering: audition the possibilities</li><ul><li>EQ before compression? Or compression before EQ?</li><li>Compression ratio at 1:1.5 with a low threshold followed by limiting at 1:20 with a high threshold?</li></ul></ul>
The Dangerous Liaison: unlock the potential of all your outboard on 
every session, every time, in precise, repeatable combinations.

Switchcraft StudioPatch® Series Bantam/TT Patchbays utilize Switchcraft’s EZ Norm technology, allowing the signal flow of each channel to be instantly modified from the front of the patchbay using a standard screwdriver. Now, all StudioPatch® Series Bantam/TT patchbays feature user programmable grounds, making it possible to customize each channel’s grounding scheme with the flip of a switch.
The Switchcraft 1625 offers a modular design that can be used as an individual 8 channel patch module, or mounted (up to 5 across) into a 1.5RU rack tray. EZ Norm technology enables signal flow to be changed from the front of each channel using a standard screwdriver, and programmable ground lift switches are easily accessed by removing the rear panel. Each module connects using two DB25 connectors wired to the TASCAM DTRS pinout. It is especially well suited for users who do not want to sacrifice quality, but may not have an immediate need for a full 48-channel TT patchbay.
