Thon Rack Panel 1U 8XLR

Didn't use it for installing XLR connectors, I just have 8 cables that from the bottom rack need to reach the top one and they all have their pass-through slot.

It makes my rack look much cleaner now.

This panel is made of pretty much thick metal - it's enough, so it won't flex, or move.

Bought it for a bit different purpose than mounting in a rack - I've made a "patch panel" for a pedalboard from it. Paired it with neutrik lockable connectors. This also helped to get rid of some cable clutter across pedalboard, connecting your in and out, fx loop send and return, and sometimes trigger signals to act as a footswitch for the amp. Put a PowerCON connector there too, so setting up would take less time.

Used it on a couple of racks with positive results. Does what its suppose to do, metal seems of good quality and the paint is still spott on. Also, cheaper than the equivalent from other known brands.

For the price I can't complain at all. If I cared about the D-Series connectors being perfectly aligned I would have paid more money for something else or bought a pre-made patchbay instead. This is just more cost effective!

Simple well made rack panel. It's pretty sturdy and well finished. The pre drilled holes were accurately done so fitting was easy. These can be really handy as a break out on a rack case for monitor sends instead of having to get under the mixer and read the sockets. I use mine for the Speaker master out sockets as getting to the underside of my mixer in the rack is quite tough - so this makes it a lot quicker. It'll work with any standard socket - XLR, Jack, Speakon etc.

Solid construction,
great build, no overpainting, etc

10/10

Sturdy, cheap (only in price) and does what it's supposed to do. And the mounting holes are precise, unlike some other brands. Using this to connect the back of my live rack to venues' setups, and it works like a charm. Be careful what screws you use to mount the connectors, some tend to strip the hole. All in all, very recommended.

Good panel in fair price

This rack panel is being used for the distribution of my amplifer rack, the rack will be hard wired to this pannel, XLR female and speakon sockets will be used for this, the xlr sockets will be hard wired to the amps and the the output of the amps will be hard wired to the speakon sockets which from there will go to the cabinets/speakers,

the panel is the right price and very good quality,

Perfect fitting rack panel that does exactly what it says on the tin. Very happy with her
