Description

Audio Accessories has been designing and manufacturing audio patchbays, jacks, panels, and video patchbays for over 50 years. Based in the scenic town of Marlow, New Hampshire (population 601), Audio Accessories manufactures all their products in the US, with US sourced materials, in their massive clapboarded facility on the Ashuelot River.

Video Patchbays

The most common video patchbay offered by Audio Accessories is their 32MV1.5/MVJ-3T. It is a 2x32, 1.5RU patchbay manufactured with ADC/Commscope’s MVJ-3T mid-size jack. ADC’s MVJ-3T is a midsize to BNC self-normalling video jack, one of the gold standards in the broadcast industry. Rated for bandwidths of 3.0 GHz +, the jack is capable of 75-ohm performance with RFI shielding built in.

To meet the growing need for 12G bandwidth requirements, Audio Accessories released a 12G rated video patchbay in 1RU, 1.5RU, and 2RU configurations. These patchbays incorporate Canare jacks, and can be configured dual, normalled through a terminating jack, or a straight through jack (two singles with one cavity). Standard BNC connectors are used on the back.

Audio Accessories can manufacture a vast array of other types of patchabys, including patchbays manufactured with Canare, Kings, or Trompeter video jacks in place of the standard ADC/Commscope. Patch cords and BNC pass-through backplates are also available to compliment the line of patchbays offered.

Audio Jacks & Panels – Unwired

Audio Accessories manufactures a wide variety of unwired Jacks and panels. These panels are machined in-house from a single solid piece of metal. Each jack is hand-adjusted and tested to ensure years of performance and fail-proof patching. These panels come in 2x24 and 2x26 ¼” long-frame MAXI, 2 x 48 .172 MINI (Bantam/TT), and 2 x 32 ¼” long-frame SKINI versions.

Pre-wired Audio Patchbays

Wired audio patchbays come in a wide variety of configurations. These include MINI to ADC QCP punchdown, MINI to EDAC, Long-frame to ADC QCP punchdown, MINI SHORTI to DB25, and 1/4'” long-frame SHORTI to DB25 (SubD), to name their most common. Audio Accessories can also manufacture special solutions for Evertz EMR Routers, RTS ADAM Matrix Modules, and more.

Other less common products available include Intercom patchabys, ProTools Patchbays terminating to Cannon DL96R and DB25, SKINI to EDAC, and more.

Patch Cables & Accessories

Audio Accessories stocks a complete line of patch cables to complement their patchbays and panels. Their signature cords feature a woven DuPont nylon overbraid over a closely woven copper shield, in red, black, gray, and green. Other patch cord options include standard rubber-jacket patch cords in various colors, wall mountable patch cord holders, panel hole plugs, patchbay cleaning tools, and more.

All of Audio Accessories’ patchbays can be supplied ready to wire or prewired to just about anything, including QCP, EDAC, Cannon, AMP, and Krone connectors. Best of all, since everything, right down to the audio-line jacks, gets manufactured under one roof, custom solutions can be manufactured and delivered just about as fast as off-the-shelf products.
