Easy Patch` Patch Panel, 2 x 48 TT (Bantam) jacks, half normalled (jumpers) - fast and easy wiring and change of normalling, 288 Krone-type IDC terminals, including top and bottom cover
Design Criteria
All panels are fitted with high quality, long life NJ3TTA gold plated double contact jacks (2x48), featuring drastically improved contact integrity. The unit is finished off with a built in cable bar and two large channel ident strips for perfect management of the system. The new generation of the Neutrik "Easy-Patch" is easily programmable for any one of five configurations (standard is half normalled bottom row) and for the grounding system of your choice. Each individual pair of jacks can be changed or reconfigured quickly and without fuss even while the panel is "on air“. The NJ3TTA jacks offer also two contact points per terminal (TRS) with a special designed mechanism for the normalling contact. Simply remove the front panel to reveal the easy access jack. Remove, replace or reconfigure the jack and refix the panel. The "Easy-Patch" is an innovative and compact patching system (just 1U high) for 19" rack mounting. Robustly housed in a black coated steel shell and featuring precision aluminium fittings it is built to last.
Grounding
The flexible grounding system provides the following versions:
Individual: Each channel is individually grounded by its corresponding cable shield (default configuration).
Group: Selected channel grounds are connected via the ground bus on the PCB using solder bridges and track cuts to form a group that is connected to one common cable shield.
Central: All channel grounds (individual top and bottom row) are connected via the ground bus on the PCB using solder bridges and wired with only one cable shield.
Chassis-Common: The same as central grounding but with the addition of the common ground bus (top and / or bottom rows) connected to the patch panel chassis by means of jumpers.
Features & Benefits
- Innovative and compact patching system (just 1U high) for 19" rack mounting
- Robustly housed in a black coated steel shell
- High quality long life gold plated Neutrik prewired double jacks with drastically improved contact integrity
- Qualified for analog and digital signals acc. AES3, 48 kHz sampling frequency
- Convenient change of normalling with the aid of jumpers

A stereo version of the PPB20 is also available. Instead of having one microphone and one line input the stereo version has two line inputs.
The first input is split on to the upper row of outputs i.e. on to the odd channels whereas the second line input is split on to the lower row of outputs, i.e. the even channels.

The Press Patch Box is a special kind of audio signal distributor intended for use at press conferences. It features separate inputs for microphone and line signals (from a mixing console output).
Also available as stereo version (PPB20S)
A high quality input amplifier with a transformer balanced input provides a wide dynamic range. A total of 20 transformer-balanced XLR/m outputs with separate paired driver circuits make it possible to connect up video cameras and other recording equipment.
The nominal output level is +4 dBu at 600 Ω. Channels 19 and 20 have TRS jack sockets for balanced/unbalanced signals and also phono sockets (-10 dBu nominal level).
Where more than 20 outputs are required, additional PPB 20s can be hooked up via a rear BUS IN/OUT socket. Signal monitoring is provided by a 10 LED strip displaying a range of -40 to +10 dB (0 dB in the display = 4 dBu output) and an adjustable headphones amplifier.
The PPB20 has an integral, shielded power supply unit. An extra DC input makes it possible to connect up a (backup) battery power source. A PW4 can provide the necessary backup power supply for two PPB20s.
Input:
- Transformer-balanced, 4 XLR/f sockets, with paired front/rear parallel connections for separate microphone/line signals.
- Nominal Input Impedances: Microphones 200 Ω, Line = 5 kΩ
- Max. input levels: microphones = 0 dBu, Line = +20 dBu
- Max. amplification: microphones = +66 dB, Line = +22 dB (constantly adjustable via switch and potentiometer).
Output:
- 20 XLR/m, 2x TRS jack, 2x phono, all transformer-balanced and floating with separate ground lift switches at rear
- Nominal output impedances: XLR = 300 Ω, jack and phono = 600 Ω
- Nominal output levels: XLR = +4 dBu/20 dBu max.; jack/phono = -10 dBu, + 6 dBu max
- Headphones output: Stereo jack socket, with mono tip + ring, Designed for use with 8 Ω - 200 Ω headphones (constantly adjustable level).
- 10 LED strips displaying a range of -40 to +10 dB.
- Bus input/output (mono jack)
- Power Supply: 230 VAC or ± 12 V to ± 18 VDC, 15 Watts.
- Housing: 19'', 3 U, approx. 200 mm deep.
