Neutrik NYS-SPP Patchbay 6,3mm Jack 48x In/Out, 19" 1HE
This patchbay is perfect for those has a "modular" project studio with DAW working along with outboard gear and synth-samplers like me. It just makes your routing easier and its totally configurable and modifiable in chase you want to change something in your setup in the future. It also has multiple normalization options
Its not immediately obvious if you dont have experience with this type of gear, but because of being half normalled bottom row you can pretty much make any arrangement you would like, like through, normal, etc. (See the Neutrik product website) Works well, doesnt look too flimsy, despite the low price.
