Euphonix CS3000/2000 Operation Manual
T
he standard Euphonix patchbay is made up of fully connectorized patch
units. Each unit contains two rows of 48 jacks with the upper row half-
normalled to the lower row, and takes up 1 unit of 19" rack space (1.75"
[44mm] high). These units are manufactured to Euphonix specifications and
contain high-quality TT (Bantam) jack sockets.
There is one patchbay unit for each I/O control module in the Mix Controller
(i.e., 8 faders/4 channel strips) plus 1 master patchbay per system. A fully-
configured Audio Tower can accommodate up to 28 channels (56 faders) of
audio. So a full one-Tower 56-fader system will have 8 patch units for the
main system (7 Channel patchbays and 1 Master patchbay). Any
additional outboard gear (ES108A, Audio CUBE, reverbs, etc.) will
require additional tie-line patchbays. Euphonix suggests configuring
the patchbay with the Master patch unit on the top of the rack in easy
reach, with the Channel patches below from lowest to highest
channel numbers.
