A 32-port 2U feedthrough panel — enough stage patches to 1:1 map every input of a 32-channel stage box (DL32 / S32 / Rio3224). In practice users colour-code and tape-label each port to the instrument / mic it carries ("KICK", "SNARE", "MATT VOX"), turning the front face into a rig-specific stage plot.

How it works in the path
Thirty-two ports maps perfectly to a full DL32, S32, or Rio3224-D2 stage boxThe I/O endpoint on stage: mics plug in there and one digital line (AES50, Dante) carries everything to the console. The snake, digitized. — one connector per channel, no compromises. Because these are Neutrik feedthroughs, the locking mechanism and contact quality are the same you'd expect from any Neutrik chassis connector, which matters when a local stagehand is yanking cables in a hurry at load-in. The panel draws zero watts and weighs 2.3kg fully unpopulated, so it won't stress your rack's weight budget. What it will do is add a complete layer of wiring behind the panel — plan for that depth behind the rack before you commit the position.

Milan is its pro profile. and you're only landing a handful of analog lines, 32 ports is overkill and a smaller 8- or 16-port panel will serve you better.

In the rack
Details worth deciding before load-in.
Label every port before the first show using laminated tape flags or a label printer — front-face labels should match your stage plot exactly (instrument name, not just a channel number) so a sub engineer can work the rack without a handoff.
Run your fanoutA cable that splits one multichannel connector (like a DB25) into individual plugs — the octopus that turns 8 channels into 8 XLRs. cables from the stage boxThe I/O endpoint on stage: mics plug in there and one digital line (AES50, Dante) carries everything to the console.

Desktop boxes without them need a shelf, tray, or drawer to live in the case.; at 60mm deep it's tight work in a dense rack and you want slack to solder or terminate without fighting the frame.

Position this panel immediately adjacent to the stage-box input on your console or interface so the patch path is as short as possible; excess cable looped behind the rack is a noise and strain-relief liability on a touring rig.

NYS-SPP-32A 32-port 2U feedthrough panel — enough stage patches to 1:1 map every input of a 32-channel stage box (DL32 / S32 / Rio3224).

NZP1RU-12The Neutrik NZP1RU-12 provides a clean row of 12 XLR pass-throughs from front to rear panel, making it easy to present organized connections on the back of your rack while keeping the front accessible for patching. Neutrik connectors ensure reliable, road-worthy connections. This is essential infrastructure for any touring rack where you want quick, repeatable hookups at each venue.View gear →
NYS-SPP-16A purely passive 1U rack panel with 16 Neutrik feedthrough XLR connectors — one side on the rack face (labeled stage patch points), the other inside the rack (pre-wired to the stage box). Used to keep stage-box connectors protected inside the rack while giving crew easy, labeled XLR access on the rack face. Colored tape or dust caps on each port identify the role ("M GTR 4", "B VOX", "Song Trax 2") — per-instance port rename on these ports turns the panel into a rig-specific stage map.View gear →
NYS-SPP-24The 24-port sibling of the 16-port panel. Two rows of twelve Neutrik feedthroughs on a 2U face, giving enough stage patches for a full-band rig with room to spare for playback tracks and comms. Pair with a 32-input stage box (DL32 / S32 / Rio3224) and tape-label each port to make the rig self-documenting at load-in.View gear →
