Group Bus outputs. Mix Bus. DAT output In a patchbay the inputs are permanently connected to their corresponding outputs (when such correspondences indeed exist). For example, the L-R stereo output of the mixer's mix bus is always connected to the input of the equipment used to create masters of the recordings made. For example, if we use a DAT as our final master media we'd have the following situation. PatchBay connections The diagram shows the connections between the mixer-patchbay-multi-track recorder.

We can see how inside the patchbay the connections between the outputs and inputs are permanent. Now let's see how to insert or pick up new signals along this route.

We'll distinguish between fully-normalized connections and connections that are half-normalized. If the patchbay is fully normalized, when we insert a jack into any one of the two sockets that connect an output to an input, the connection between them is broken. In half-normalized patchbays, when we insert a jack into the output, the connection isn't interrupted, whereas if we insert it into the input the connection breaks off. The following diagrams show these two different behaviours. Half-normalized connections The first diagram (a) illustrates how when you insert a jack into one of the two sockets, the connection between the two is broken. The second diagram (b) shows how if we insert a connector into the output, it transfers a copy of the output signal to the lead plugged into the connector. By inserting the connector into the input (c), the connection between the output and the input is interrupted, and the signal transported by the lead plugged into the connector is routed to the input.

The following picture shows a good example of a patchbay gathering connections of a complex recording studio.
