What is the difference between Normal, Half-Normal, and Through modes?

What type of cables should I use with the S-Patch Plus?
Use 1/4" TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) cables for balanced audio connections.
How do I clean the S-Patch Plus?
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
Can I use this patchbay with unbalanced equipment?
Yes, but be aware that you may experience a reduction in signal quality.
What is the rack capacity of the S-Patch Plus?
The S-Patch Plus has a rack capacity of 1U.
What is the warranty period?
Warranty information is not available in the provided product data.
