Introduction

Innovative “Programmable” audio patch bays. With programmable patch bays, you can change the normaling and grounding of individual circuits just by changing the shunt arrangement under the designation strips. Simply remove the two strips, re-arrange the vertical (normaling) and horizontal (grounding) shunts, and you’ll reconfigure your patching system quickly and cost-effectively. The 969 Series is available in 1.5 and 2RU enclosed chassis and a jack configuration of 2x48, with a variety of other options.
