About Patch Bays and “Normalling”
Schemes
All Hosa patch bays feature “half-normalled” configuration (except for the
PHB-265, the PDR-369, and the MXL-369). Two pieces of gear that are con-
nected, one to the rear-panel top and one to the rear-panel bottom jacks, in any
single bay channel are automatically connected to each other. Plugging into the
bottom-front jack of that same channel breaks the connection.
This “half-normal” configuration is the perfect combination of versatility and
affordability, and it easily handles all of the patching scenarios needed by most
commercial and home studios.
De-Normalled operation for Hosa patch bays (straight-through wiring) is
accomplished by turning around selected internal channel modules 180
degrees, except on the PHB-360 and MHB-360 which can not be de-nor-
malled.
The PHB-265 uses recessed, front-panel switches to select half-normalled, full-
normalled or de-normalled operation, so rotating the modules isn’t necessary.
The PDR-369 and MDR-369 XLR bays have no normalling (straight through
only).

Make permanent connections at the
REAR of the bay.
Signal from the recorder is also available at the FRONT
TOP jack.
Plugging the reverb’s return signal into the FRONT BOTTOM
jack breaks the connection between top and bottom at the
rear of the bay, and completes the outboard loop.
This is “Half-Normalling”
A “Half-Normalled” patch bay is incredibly versatile. By inserting a plug into the switching jack at the front bottom
position, you can break the “normal connection” between top and bottom at the rear. Here’s a simplified example:
