Keeping track of which cable goes where on your patch bay can be a real pain. We've developed a handy tool that lets you plan your patch bay layout and order a custom printed vinyl label to fit perfectly on your equipment.
Here's how to use the tool and order your patchbay sticker.
In this demo, we'll be making a label for a Samson S-Patch Plus patch bay but we provide labelling for other patchbays like the Neutrik NYS-SPP-L1.
Short on time? Watch this 1 minute video for a quick overview:
Navigate to the Samson S-Patch. Scroll down and you'll see our configuration tool with a blank patchbay which will update as you start configuring your layout.
It's easy to group and colour-code channels. Let's start by selecting a colour for our channel group. You'll see it update on the blank patchbay above.
Now group your channels by pressing the link icon 🔗 next to the colour picker. When you press the link button it automatically groups with the next channel to the right.
Now that your channels are linked, enter the name of your equipment. The text will be centred on your grouping and will be either black or white to provide contrast. Again, you'll see it update in real time on the patchbay preview.
You can label individual outputs and inputs too. In our example we're using "L" and "R" but you can have longer titles as needed.
Continue filling your output and input channels. The preview image updates with each change you make. What you see on screen will closely match the printed product that you'll receive when you order from us.
When you're happy with your patchbay design, just press add to cart and wait a few seconds for us to generate your new label.
Feel free to return to the configuration tool and create a new label for your other patch bays. When you're ready to check out, just navigate to the shopping bag and finish the check out.
Our patch bay labels are made from high-quality vinyl and printed using non-solvent latex inks on professional printing and finishing equipment. Your new label will be scratch and water resistant and cut to perfectly fit your audio equipment.
