Audio Normalling
Audio Normalling is usually used with audio patch panels
and is a wiring pattern in which a circuit path is established
from one piece of audio equipment to another without
the use of a patch cord. This pattern is then considered to
be the „normal“ circuit path that is desired most of the
time. If a patch cord is inserted, the normal circuit path is
interrupted and rerouted to a different circuit path.
Normalled patch panels are most commonly found in
vertical jack pairs: the top jack is designated as the source
and the bottom jack is the destination.
Normalling example: HALF NORMALLED BOTTOM ROW
This is the most common configuration, very often
called HALF NORMALLED. In
this configuration internal
normalling contacts connect
the top jack contact with the
corresponding bottom jack
contact. Inserting a plug in the
bottom jack will interrupt this
internal normalling connection,
while inserting a patch cord
into the top jack doesn‘t interrupt the circuit. (Can be used
to monitor the normalling circuit)
Other versions of normalling are Half Normalled Top Row,
Full Normalled, Parallel and Isolated.
