The unit also provides individual earthing selection for all patch points, allowing for phantom power and unbalanced signal pass through to be selected point by point. The patchbay’s individual 110 Ohm impedance jack modules are secured to the chassis behind a fully removable front panel, allowing access to all jack screws for future retightening while the bay remains fully in place.

Meanwhile, the front of the PPE56, users can purchase a laser-etched, full color, custom engraved front panel or possibly opt for a traditional ‘scribble strip’ design on the front panel.
