I'd like a panel mounting as small and neat a BT socket as possible. Slave
type, not that it matters. Plenty of frame ones at RS etc, but none
apparently exactly what I need. I'd like one just slightly larger than the
socket itself that clips into a cut out. Or some suggestions. ;-) The
panel will have a printed 'cover' panel, so fixing screws etc could be
concealed.

MK might do something in their modular system.

What about one of the Euro modular ones. MK have these and RS have
a variety of makes. If you were to engineer the cutout, they just
click into place.

I've got these round the house, but they're a bit bigger than I'd like.
Looking at one, it would be difficult to surface mount it, and making the
holes for them to be flush and the fixing for this quite a bit of work.
But it's an option if all else fails.

I've got a rectangular Q-Max which would do for the plug only, so I might
try just glueing a frame one on the back.

You can buy in-line female to female joiners for extending a run using two
cables. These will unclip from each other giving probably the smallest
female socket you can get and I've filed then glued these onto numerous
surfaces. You'll need to joint the wires behind it somehow though.

Thanks - that sounds like it will look ok.

Does it have to be BT? Neutrik do RJ45 in the new standard square
fitting.

Yes - it's to plug standard phones into. It's a telephone ringer for
studio use.

Now a Neutric BT socket would have been perfect - it would match the XLRs
on the same panel.

Why not change the leads on the phones to an RJ-11 to RJ-45 type?

The idea is to ring any standard phone that may be used 'in shot' in a TV
studio. To have to change the plugs on those would be a no-no.

To clarify, there is room on the panel for a standard small size flush BT
outlet. I just want something that looks better. ;-)

OK...... I meant the whole lead though. Usually the RJ-11 is
underneath the phone so wouldn't be seen, and then the RJ-45 would be
in the desk. Or am I missing something?

OK..... Would you want 75Vrms near low level audio stuff, or is it
balanced and immune enough?

You can get RJ45 - BT adaptors.
