DESCRIPTION |
 |
|
Ace Backstage Co. Inc.'s compact-sized Stage Pocket, the Mini Stage Pocket, is a standard general use vertical slant panel flush stage pocket. The Mini Stage Pocket is a compact rugged, high utility, high density design. The Mini Stage Pocket is made of heavy duty steel and may be used to conceal audio, communications, control, data, electric AC power, switches, video, and voice connections etc. below the floor surface for easy access and to prevent connector damage. The Mini Stage Pocket has a compact capacity inter-changeable panel system which permits easy custom connector/panel configurations. The lid/bezel is 1/8” steel with a footprint of 4-3/4” x 7”. The hinge is brushed brass or stainless steel and will not rust or discolor.
The Mini Stage Pocket has the panel capacity for either:
• (2) #MP-100 Series "Connectrix" Panels or
• (2) #MP-200 Series Switchcraft® Panels
The Mini Stage Pocket has the connector capacity for either:
• (4) "Connectrix" Connectors or
• (4) Neutrik® Connectors or
• (4) Switchcraft® Connectors
The Mini Stage Pocket Lid and Mounting Flange assembly is available in 2 oven-cured powder coat finishes plus brushed solid brass. The Lid and Mounting Flange mounts to the Mini Pocket Body which easily installs in raised floors with or without a back box. Two panel positions in the pocket body permit a wide array of connection possibilities. While the space in the pocket is compact, a careful selection of connectors can satisfy requirements for audio, video, computer or 110VAC connectivity.
The small footprint and compact size sets limits for the combination of connectors that may be used in a single pocket. Using the “CONNECTRIX” system in various optional 2-panel combinations for large and small connectors a surprising array of connections can be accomplished. A single Mini Pocket may accommodate only one or two larger connectors (mic, speaker, VGA, A.C. etc.). When using smaller connectors four or more connections are possible. When selected large and small connectors are stategically placed in the opposing panels, 3-4 connectivity terminations can easily be accomplished.
ACE's Standard Vertical Slant Panel Stage Pocket Systems offer "Connectivity" Solutions with a flexible, reliable, and simplistic design. The flexible design of the Standard Vertical Slant Panel Stage Pocket Lid, Mounting Flange and Pocket Body along with Custom and Prefabricated Aluminum "Connectrix" (Neutrik®/Switchcraft® combo cutout) Panels, Switchcraft® Panels, and our large selection of "Connectrix" (Neutrik®/Switchcraft® combo cutout), Switchcraft®, and Custom Connectors allow the Stage Pockets to be installed in many different applications. These applications include educational, institutional, and liturgical settings. Within these applications various audio, communications, control, data, electric AC power, video, and voice terminations are possible, allowing for a complete Stage Pocket System.
ACE's Standard Vertical Slant Panel Stage Pockets are available in a variety of sizes (Mini, Half, Full, and Double Wide) making them flexible in both form and function and able to meet your individual requirements. All Standard Vertical Slant Panel Stage Pockets are UL Listed except for the Mini Pocket. For more details on Ace Backstage Co. Inc.'s Stage Pocket Systems call the Ace Order Desk at 661-295-5760.

The “Connectrix” system connectors may be used in any of the “Connectrix” panels utilizing the popular mounting pattern of the Neutrik “D” and Switchcraft “E” series mounting patterns. Connectors using the generous rectangular “Connectrix” cutout will add to a growing array of adapter-mounted standard connectors. The adapter mount is plastic and provides ground isolation between the panel and connector.Click on the links above for our current selection of stock “Connectrix” system connectors.
When ordering, please specify model number and type of connector as well as panel model number (#PNL-100 Series, #PNL-120 Series, or #PSW-100 Series) the connectors will be loaded into. *NOTE: Specific High Density (HD) and Sub-D pattern connectors will require either 2 or 3 “Connectrix” Horizontal Spaces or 2 or 3 “Connectrix” Vertical Spaces, depending on connectors selected.

“CONNECTRIX” SYSTEM PANEL DESCRIPTION
Many pre-cut stock #MP-100 Series “Connectrix” System connector panels and #MP-200 Series Switchcraft® connector panels are available for the Mini Stage Pocket. Standard "Connectrix" and Switchcraft® Panels are created from high strength, tough, aircraft aluminum alloy (6061-T6) that is 1/16" (.062") or 1/8" (.125") thick. The standard panels clip in with two (2) self-tapping screws. Each panel is CNC machined to precisely mate with the designated connectors and in the pocket mounting holes. Each Standard "Connectrix" and Switchcraft® Panel is finished with oven cured semi-gloss black powder coat.
Most panels provide header space for custom engraving which is fast and easily accomplished on a separate dedicated CNC engraving machine. The finished panels show bright aluminum in the engraved characters and need not be back filled. ACE standard panels are flat, strong, and rigid like the typical thinner mild steel panels. Because the panels are machined and not punched they stay flat and undistorted unlike punched panels which distort in the punching process. The machined “Connectrix” style cutouts combine popular mounting patterns of the Neutrik “D” series and Switchcraft “E” series connectors with a generous rectangular cutout that mates with a growing array of adapter-mounted standard connectors. The adapter mount is plastic and provides ground isolation between the panel and connector.
Using the “Connectrix” system panel it is possible to mount any combination of modular jacks (RJ45, RJ11 etc.), BNCs, dual RCAs, mic jacks, speaker jacks and numerous other standard connectors without a single custom punch. This system provides for more connectors and mounting options in stock standard ACE panels. The benefit is faster order turn around and lower cost. Less custom fabrication for custom spec results with off-the-shelf stock prices.
