You will never need to buy another over-priced jack-to-jack cable again...
As a gentleman of a certain age, my close-focus ability is getting worse. (like everybody's - As we age the lens in our eye gets stiffer and the muscles that focus it cant pull it to the right shape to close focus)

It's transformed things for me... I have just soldered up 8 XLR panel sockets and 8 plugs to add mic inputs to the front of my rack from the rear of the Focusrite Liquid 56. How did live without one of these? Ever?
