GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Ace Backstage Co. Inc.’s small sized Stage Pocket, the Mini Stage Pocket,
is a standard general use vertical slant panel ush stage pocket. Mini
Stage Pockets are made of heavy duty steel and may be used to conceal
audio, communications, data, electric AC power, switches, video, and voice
connections etc. below the oor surface for easy access and to prevent
connector damage. The Mini Stage Pocket (#025xx) is a compact rugged,
high utility, high density design. 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 Lid and Mounting Flange assembly is available in
2 oven-cured powder coat nishes plus brushed solid brass. The Lid and
Mounting Flange mounts to the Mini Pocket Body which easily installs in
raised oors 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.
FEATURES
• SMALL CAPACITY: The Mini Stage Pocket accomodates #MP-100 Series
Panels and #MP-200 Series Panels in an interchangeable two-panel system
making for easy custom congurations. Two (2) optional #MP-100 Series

“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 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 nished 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
nished panels show bright aluminum in the engraved characters and need
not be back lled. ACE standard panels are at, strong, and rigid like the
typical thinner mild steel panels. Because the panels are machined and not
punched they stay at 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 benet is faster order turn
around and lower cost. Less custom fabrication for custom spec results
with off-the-shelf stock prices.
