At first glance, these nifty pieces of gear might look like daunting puzzle boxes of inputs and outputs, but understanding key elements of their design provide the clues you need to make the right purchase.
Connections: The lion's share of today's patchbays operate with tiny telephone (TT) or bantam connections up front and D-25 (or D-sub) connections in the back, which can take XLR or 1/4" jacks. Keep this in mind when you're taking mental inventory of your gear.
Balanced/Unbalanced: Even if you're only working with unbalanced gear, a balanced patchbay isn't a bad option to consider. You never know what you might grab in the future, and if that next buy happens to be balanced, you'll have a patchbay to handle it.
Design: Speaking in broad terms, patchbays typically come in a configuration of 24 channels, each with an input/output connection (or "point"), totaling 48 points. The whole point (no pun intended) is to streamline your workflow, so they're conceived with signal flow as priority: outputs on top, inputs on the bottom.
