Yep.. that's ONE of the two patch-racks in that particular installation. ;D
and yes, it's a console patch bay. -The client had ordered an Amek 9098i and didn't like the factory patch layout, so had me build a custom one. -Since it was being done from scratch, he then requested NO multipin connections to all the outboard connections, so I wired the FULL length of all the multitrack looms, all the outboard looms, all the mic/line runs etc. and coiled them up.
The patchbays were then mounted into two tall Winsted racks, with all the attached cable lengths coiled and tie-wrapped into the bottom of the assembled racks. The Winsted racks were also reinforced with 2" 90° angle-alloy strips mounted front-to-back, at the exact height to support each Amek Power supply. (Ten x 50kg each; one half-ton of power supplies in total!)
On delivery to California, the patchbays were removed and installed in the control room, and the Amek Power supplies were installed and the console was connected, powered up and shaken out.
For a fee, I'll wire ANYBODY's patchbay!
