Longframe patchbay - remove bussed grounds?

[morls]

Hi,

I've bought a bare-bones patchbay for insert send/returns on my transfer console, and was wondering about removing the ground bussing. Balanced connection to console via DB-25 (cutting DB-25 snake in half and soldering directly to patchbay sockets), all gear is balanced and there's not going to be any normalling.

Sound like the right thing to do in this situation?

Cheers
Stephen

I have a few long-frame bays without any ground bussing, everything works great as such for me I imagine there might be a difference if you were patching mic-level stuff through your bay, but for all line-level balanced connections, I am not worried about it.

Ha! I'm planning to do the same thing for my AD/DA converter that has I/O on DB25 connectors.
