OVERVIEW The ART P16 Sixteen Channel XLR Balanced Patch Bay is a deceptively simple, yet surprisingly useful addition to any serious collection of audio equipment. A patch bay organizes your cables and provides a convenient, easily accessible central location to make all of your audio connections. It also saves wear and tear on the connectors of your audio equipment because all connections are now made and changed at your patch bay.
USING AN XLR PATCH BAY Although the ART P16, like all patch bays, is conceptually a simple device, it is worth a small investment in time to familiarize yourself with a few of the many ways in which it can be used. The most basic use for the P16 is to extend connections from the back of audio devices that are hard to reach using XLR cables to the back of the patch bay in a rack. From the front, you can then patch these connections to any place you want.
