[sdiy] Patch bay decision...

[jean-pierre.desrochers at ville.quebec.qc.ca]

Hi all,

I have one 48" high rackmount tower I just built to put
audio/video stuff I'm gonna use in it
(Tuner, VHS, Cassette decks, Turntable preamps, effects, etc..).
Every back rca plugs of these devices will be wired to
terminals of a rackmount patchbay for easy connect/disconnect
of everything using 1/4" patch cords.
My question is where would be the more 'handy'
height to place the patchbay in the 48" high rackmont tower.
For easier understanding lets divide the tower by 10,
10 is the tower's top, 5 middle, 1 bottom.
I'm about to stack all devices tonight including
the patch bay which is around 4" high.
Thanks.
