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!

No more reaching into racks and damaging your hands. Install these and make cable connections quicker, easier and safer. You can also only bring the connections you need out so its less confusing to connect up.

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.

The Thon Rack Panel 1U 8XLR is exactly what I expected. The build quality is solid, and it feels durable and well-made. Nothing more to say, just good quality all around.

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
