Catalog Index > Integrated Patchbays (IPS)

IPS is the abbreviation for our Integrated Patching System. The idea behind IPS is to combine the three main patching requirements — audio, video and data — into one single unit. Our IPS patching systems therefore have the same professional quality and finish as the rest of our line, avoiding the loose pieces and sloppy look of modular patchbays.



IPS patchbays are ideal for close-quarter environments such as edit rooms and professional home studios with multiple TYPES of patching requirements (audio, video and data), but that have a minimal NUMBER of patching requirements. They are a cost-effective way to have the convenience, functionality and reliability of a multiple-patch system, without having to purchase three separate patchbays. Our most frequently ordered IPS system features 2x10 video, 2x20 audio and 2x4 data.
