ART P16 XLR PATCHBAY MOD

[@barryjneely]

Just confirming that this mod totally works. I've modded a few of these. Personally, I used a Dremel tool, but to each their own!

[@AGVersace100]

Given you already had one, the mod has sense. If someone is interested in buying one brand new. Thomann has 3 models, all input all outputs and In&out. Buy the one you need and retain full warranty on your product. thank you for sharing the process. I found it cool.

[@brayzbeats]

Genius. Exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully, I won't destroy it :D

[@hortosoniclab3851]

just take your time with it and you’ll be fine!

[@brayzbeats]

@@hortosoniclab3851 Finished. Works perfect. Now I can use my outboard compressor for both tracking and mixing :)

[@sselvatico]

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[@hortosoniclab3851]

Glad I could help!

[@russellwiley7869]

You could also desolder and resolder the connectors on the opposite sides of you wanted a more custom configuration. This shows me that the hosa is easier to reverse. I don't think I want to do all that soldering just to get an out/in/out/in configuration.

[@bobco5]

but isn't the Hosa also 3 times the price ? aha

[@russellwiley7869]

@@bobco5 no it's a $10 price difference making it well worth the $10 for the ease of configuration. I ended up buying two of them and now I have inputs on the bottom and outputs on top with a section off to the right that's all input that brings all of my interface inputs up front. Easy peasy.

@@russellwiley7869 up here in cold Canada , Winnipeg , Long and McQuade the ART P16 is $99, the Hosa PDR-369 XLR Patch Bay is $310 ! and the Hosa is only 12 channel... I see the Hosa is only $109 US at Sweetwater tho wth ...

[@russellwiley7869]

@@bobco5 Yes, I was going to say look at Sweetwater. Art is $99.99 and Hosa is $108.95. After buying one, I turned around and bought another. I don't know anything about Canadian pricing. Sweetwater is just the next state over from me, so it's not even that far to ship it and if worse came to worse, I could make the drive.

[@shinemastering]

YES! just what I need, thanks!

[@mariavejarano1715]

Nice T-shirt! Very useful!

[@gitarman666]

Hosa has a 12 channel with each set independent from the others. Open bottom just flip them at will in any config and maintain warranty

[@cptboogy]

Any impact on sound quality using this box?

[@hortosoniclab3851]

Hey Jordan, that was the first thing I tested when I first received it and I can honestly say I did not hear any difference whatsoever when going through the patch bay.

You are a G! Thanks so much!
