Each channel switches between normal and half-normal operation with its own button, so there is no need to physically flip channel modules. In normal operation, a plug in a front jack breaks the connection between the rear input and output; in half-normal operation the rear connection stays unbroken, so you can split the signal to a second destination. A shielded 1U steel chassis, a passive design that needs no power, reversible rack ears and high-quality connectors complete it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003e24 linked input \/ output pairs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e48 points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eNormal or Half Normal button\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003ePer channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eBalanced connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e1\/4 inch TRS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eNo power required, 1U\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003ePassive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 channels\u003c\/strong\u003e of linked input \/ output pairs (48 points)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 inch TRS connections\u003c\/strong\u003e, balanced internally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNormal or Half Normal\u003c\/strong\u003e operation, switchable per channel by a button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive design\u003c\/strong\u003e: no power required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully shielded steel enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1U, 19 inch rackmount\u003c\/strong\u003e with reversible rack ears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eNormal and Half Normal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eWith nothing plugged in at the front, the rear pair of a channel is connected internally: the signal flows from the top rear jack (input) to the bottom rear jack (output). In Half Normal (button out), the mode most commonly used, a plug in the top front jack takes out or monitors the signal without breaking it, a plug in the bottom front jack breaks the link and patches in a new source, and plugs in both give two independent through paths. In Normal (button in), a plug in either front jack breaks the normalled connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eUsing the jacks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eOn the rear, the top jacks are inputs (from sources or sends) and the bottom jacks are outputs (to destinations or receives). On the front the convention is reversed, following the signal flow through the patchbay. Jacks 1 and 25, front and rear, with their button form one channel. Unbalanced equipment can use 1\/4 inch TS plugs, and ART advises using two separate channels rather than connecting a processor's output and input to the same channel, which would create a feedback loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eBuilt for the rack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe 19 inch, 1U high, fully shielded black all-steel enclosure has reversible rack ears and needs no power.
