5. Setup
5.1 Patchbay Installation (Neutrik NYS-SPP-L1)
- Rack Mounting: The NYS-SPP-L1 is designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks. Secure the patchbay using appropriate rack screws (not included) into an available rack space. Ensure it is firmly mounted to prevent movement.
- Simba: The patchbay is a passive device and does not require external power.
5.2 Patchbay Configuration (Neutrik NYS-SPP-L1)
The NYS-SPP-L1 allows for flexible signal routing modes by flipping internal PC boards. To access these boards:
- Ensure the patchbay is securely mounted.
- Carefully unscrew the front panel fasteners. The front panel can be opened without fully removing the unit from the rack.
- Locate the vertical PC boards. Each board corresponds to a pair of front and rear jacks.
- Flip the desired PC boards to select the required operating mode (see Section 6).
- Once configured, close the front panel and secure the fasteners.
5.3 Snake Connections (Hosa DTP-802)
- DB25 Connection: Connect the DB25 end of the Hosa DTP-802 snake to the corresponding DB25 port on your audio interface, mixer, or other compatible equipment. Ensure the screws on the DB25 connector are tightened to secure the connection.
- 1/4" TRS Connections: Connect the eight 1/4" TRS plugs to the rear inputs/outputs of your Neutrik patchbay or directly to other studio equipment. Utilize the color-coding and numbering on the cables for organized routing.
6. Operating Modes (Neutrik NYS-SPP-L1 Patchbay)
The Neutrik NYS-SPP-L1 patchbay supports three primary operating modes for each channel pair, configured by flipping the internal PC boards:
- Normalled: In this mode, the top rear jack is connected to the bottom rear jack internally. Inserting a plug into the front top jack breaks this connection, allowing you to insert a signal. Inserting a plug into the front bottom jack does not break the connection but allows you to tap the signal. This is ideal for routing a signal from one device to another by default, but allowing for easy interruption or splitting.
- Half-Normalled: Similar to normalled, the top rear jack is connected to the bottom rear jack. Inserting a plug into the front top jack breaks the connection. However, inserting a plug into the front bottom jack hazviiti break the connection, allowing you to tap the signal without interrupting the normal flow. This is commonly used for sending a signal to a compressor or EQ and then returning it, while also allowing a copy of the signal to be sent elsewhere.
- Isolated (Non-Normalled): In this mode, there is no internal connection between the top and bottom rear jacks. Each jack operates independently. This mode is used when you want to make all connections manually with patch cables, or when connecting devices that should not be internally linked.
7. Kuchengeta
- Kuchenesa: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the patchbay and snake. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For connectors, use a specialized contact cleaner if necessary, ensuring it is safe for audio equipment.
- Kuongorora: Periodically inspect all cables and connectors for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent signal loss or electrical hazards.
- Kuchengeta: When not in use, store the snake neatly coiled to prevent kinks or damage.
