ANY Fully Normalized Patchbays Out There??

Are there any patchbays out there that are FULL NORMALIZED - that are of high quality, and hold the cables securely in place????

I sold my DBX PB48's because they did not have offer FULL normalization. I need my patchbays to connect vertical pairs from the rear and have that connection broken on when inserting a cable on either the top or bottom.

Currently I have 4 Behringer "Pro" patchbays. I love the options they have with the switches on top of each pair.

What I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THESE - is that the jacks do NOT do a good job at holding the cables in place. Often, the weight of (many) cables makes them pull out.

I need other choices!!

At $100 a rack, this is a solid choice. I have 4 of them. Used them for almost 10 years with no problems.

But are they able to be FULLY normalized? I want to be able to connect pairs through the back and have the connections be able to broken on the top or bottom.

i would recommend getting either a punch block or solder patch bay so that you can get high quality jacks and it can be configured just the way you want it. no more fussing around with goofy plastic jacks on PCBs...

I would agree with Viking, you can totally control the patchbay by wiring them up yourself.

However, the Neutriks can be had here:

New and pretty inexpensive.

Find a used ProCo PM148.

They are 48 point patchbays with a four selector internal switch per pair that can select normal, half-normal, parallel, and open.

I have three of them in my studio, zero trouble so far.

yeah, the proco patchbays arent half bad.
I'f I had it to do over again I would get one of those dsub/TT patchbays that redco and audio accesories offer.
