Hi
I`m planning to rewire my studio, I`d like to use 2x 48 point patch pannels, and keep it as cheap as possible and efficient...
I`ve been looking to patch pannels, but the ones with solder connections in the rear side are too expensive, and multiplying the number of connectors isn`t cheap either...
So I thinked in that Jacks wich have extra pins for shorting the signal when a connector is plugged.
Could I make a rack pannel with 48 Jacks and then solder (A lot, I know) the wires to them?
I think it would be cheap, not easy, but better, and actually less soldering work than doubling the wire and connectors...
Any experience or advice on this?
Thanks in advance.
