Way back in a previous lifetime, I used to wire up professional recording studios, so I've seen a good few patchbays... usually from the hectic side behind the front panel, but to be fair, it's not really an item you expect to see on prominent display at a music trade fair... usually the kinda thing kept hidden away on a top shelf somewhere... the dirty secret behind the scenes ;-]
So I was a bit surprised to see one in full frontal display in the DJ section of the Allen & Heath stand in Hall 8.
But it makes sense - I mean, DJs have loads of wires and connections to handle too - why not offer them something to make dealing with it a whole lot easier?
