Henry Engineering PatchBox

This Stereo Output Multiplier “splits” the output of a mixer (or any audio source) to feed peripheral equipment. In many applications, PatchBox can be used instead of a distribution amplifier or patchbay. From a low-impedance balanced stereo audio source, PatchBox provides 11 stereo outputs. Five outputs, on XLR and TRS connectors, are balanced at professional level. Six outputs, on gold-plated RCA connectors, are unbalanced at consumer level. All 11 outputs can be used to simultaneously feed recorders, effects loops, PA systems, etc. Patchbox is passive, needs no batteries or power, and introduces absolutely no noise or distortion into the signal.

Neutrik Connectors

The Neutrik X series of three-pole male and female cable connectors is available with gold or silver contacts in a black metal or nickel housing. Ease of use is one of the main features of these connectors as assembly requires no special tools and there are no little screws to handle. The Neutrik NP*C series of quarter-inch professional phone plugs is available in mono (TS) or stereo (TRS) and features an all-metal, no-rivet design with nickel plug finger in a black or nickel shell. The Neutrik “bug” and name on each housing ensures original Neutrik connectors, not a copy. The original makes the difference, which is why Neutrik is a leading manufacturer of audio connectors and the connector of choice on projects such as the Alan Freed Radio Studio.
