What Does Patch Panel Mean?
Techopedia Explains Patch Panel
Patch panels are used extensively in radio broadcast studios and concert sound re-enforcement systems because of their capability to connect different devices such as electric or electronic equipment, microphones, recording gear and amplifiers. They also make it relatively simple to troubleshoot problems such as ground loops as they group every input jack into a single location. Patch panels also save wear and tear on studio gear input jacks and instruments as all connections are made using the patch panel.
