Understanding Patchbays and the dbx PB-48

The PB-48 is shipped from the factory with its circuit boards installed for half-normalled patchbay operation.

Normalled means that audio signal automatically flows between a vertical pair of patchbay jacks without theneed for patchcords (see Figure 1-A). Normalled patchbays may be half-normalled or full-normalled. In the half-normalled PB-48, each rear-panel upper jack is respectively normalled to the jack directly below it as longas nothing is plugged into the lower front-panel jack.

Half-normalled means that plugging into the upper front-panel jack does not break the connection between the upper and lower rear-panel jacks, but splits the signal to two destinations, while plugging into the lower front-panel jack breaks the connection (see Figures 1-B and 1-C).

Note: A full-normalled patch bay’s rear-panel connections are broken when plugging into either front-panel jack. A simple example of using half-normalled operation: connect a mixer’s monitor out to one of the PB-48’s rear-panel upper jacks, then connect the rear-panel jack directly below it to a power amplifier. The “normalled” signal will flow from the mixer monitor out to the power amplifier, and will only be broken when a connection is made to the corresponding front-panel lower jack.
