Wiard 300 format DIY Patch Panel

2004-01-18 by John Loffink

I completed a Wiard 300 format panel that contains 8 sets of
1/8"-banana-1/4" adapters and 3 sets of 4 jack ¼" multiples.  Details and
pictures are here:  http://www.wavemakers-synth.com/wiard/wiard300patch.html
.  This is a Do It Yourself project and I can provide more details if anyone
is interested.

Can anybody tell me the bottom clearance for the Wiard rack mount frame?
For this panel there is ½" clearance on the bottom banana jack nut to the
bottom panel edge.

FYI, I ordered this 2.5 mm thick as the Wiard information says the 300
series panels are .100 inches thick, but comparisons with this panel and
measurements with a digital caliper indicate that the Wiard panels are more
like .83 inches thick, or 2.0-2.1 mm thick.  It's not a big deal for this
panel nor even noticeable, but I'll make future panels 2.0 mm thick.

In that regard, I will probably make a utility panel with simple attenuators
and a few switches.  A third panel is planned with a power switch and 1/8"
multiples.

Would like to get some more Wiard 300 series first though. :-)
