b. Any time a patch panel cable is put into one of the plug receptacles, the input which normally
goes to the board is cancelled. For instance, if the input plug receptacle for Pot 9 (which is normally
used for cart machine playback), has a patch cable in it from the output of a tape machine, then the cart
machine playback function will be cancelled out.
c. The plugs on the patch cables have a set of "ribs" on one side. Make sure the ribs on both
plugs of the patch cable go in the same direction which will ensure no problems with "phasing". A good
thing to remember is "Keep the Ribs to the Right".
4.
Safety Precautions and Practices.
a. Remove all jewelry around electrical equipment.
b. Plug patch cable only into the patch panel.
c. Pull plugs out of the patch panel by pulling on the plug, not the cable.
