Dear Bob,
I have a Neutrik bantam patch bay NPPA-TT-SD25 and am patching a Neumann U87 through to a Neve 1073 pre-amp. I am getting distortion on some of the louder notes from the singer and a surge in the volume on these notes. When I take the patch bay out of the equation and plug the microphone straight in to the pre-amp, the problem disappears. I am turning phantom power off before plugging.
I want to use the patch bay to patch pre-amps to microphones, what am I doing wrong?
Many thanks and best regards
Steve

Hi Bob,
Can you also reply direct to my last email as well as post the answer. Thanks.
Best regards

Hey Steven,
That's interesting. Does the NPPA-TT-SD25 use a circuit-board? Are the patch cables clean?

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your email. Problem has been solved. I had the lower patch half normalised and it was going to the desk's insert, although not turned on it was causing power confusion on the connection. I simply plugged in a patch chord into the lower patch hole. Many thanks.
Best regards
Steve
That would do it. Take care.
