Created in response to customer demand, the PPD25 is both designed and manufactured in the UK and incorporates features that cater carefully for modern day needs, including:

• Fully programmable normalling options inclusive of full-normalling, half-normalling, parallel and no normalling settings which are adjustable whilst the patch remains terminated.
• Individual earthing selection for all patch points allowing for phantom power and unbalanced signal pass through.
• No compromise steel chassis and aircraft-grade aluminium construction.
• Individual jack modules - Copper-nickel-silver alloy leaf springs with solid gold crossbar switching contacts and nickel-plated sleeve bushings. 110 Ohm impedance with low return loss. 30,000 insertion/removal cycles minimum.

Aimed primarily at recording studios, theatres with recording facilities and broadcasting houses, Purple Patch has been designed to make Van Damme’s renowned quality and engineering excellence affordable to all levels of users.

Nick Chmara, VDC’s technical director, commented: “Studios often have D25 assemblies, so we had a number of enquiries after we launched our Purple Patch E56 for a D25 version.  As soon as we knew there was market demand, we set about extending our range and now have stock available.  We expect that this will be very popular as it clearly fills a gap in the market.”
