The Tascam PB32P is a simple 1/4" 32 point patch bay that can be used in any sort of studio setting. I've used the PB32P a bunch at a friend's home studio where he has it hooked up to some outboard gear. You probably know this if you're reading this review, but the main idea for a patch bay is to make easy connections between your gear so you ...
The DBX PB48 is a low-cost, no-frills, 48-point, 1/4" TRS jack front-and-back patch bay. Patch channels can be normalled or de-normalled depending on how you have each module oriented--to change configurations, you loosen a plastic nut, remove each module, rotate it an re-install. The plastic nuts are spaced close together whic...
Patchbay MRT PB-96 asymétrique (parallèle ou normalisé) à 24 patchs. Chaque patch possède sa propre carte imprimée et peut être retournée pour changer le comportement : Parallèle (pour renvoyer les entrées et sorties d'un appareil de l'arrière du rack vers l'avant) ou normalisé (pour brancher un insert de console par exemple)....
The Audio Accessories 96 Point Patchbay is a standard patch bay using TT style connections. We've got a few different 96 point patchbays at the studio where I work, and I'm not 100% sure that this is the exact model, but the one we have is indeed a 96 point patch bay that is just like this one. We have Switchcraft patch bays in our A room, but...
The Switchcraft TTP96AS is a simple patch bay that is designed for routing purposes within a recording studio. A studio where I recently did a week long session at has a few of these in their patch bay configuration, along with a few of them from other brands as well. As stated in the name, this patch bay has 96 TT type connection points, with...
The Rane SM82 S is an eight channel stereo mixer that will fit in a single space of a rack casing. There is a lot that you can do with the SM82 S, as it has a lot of versatility in terms of connection and routing options. Something like this is really designed for those who don't have a mixer and want something to run everything through for ea...
The Neutrik NYS-SPP is a 48 point patch bay that sits in a single space rack mountable unit. It has 48 1/4" TRS points on the front panel and 48 1/4" TRS connections in the back, and that is all there is to the patch bay. It doesn't require any power or anything since it is a patch bay, and there aren't any other features or characteristics he...
The Furman PB-40 is your run of the mill patch bay, consisting of 40 points in a single space rack mountable unit. It has all 1/4" TRS connections, and is all around quite standard for a TRS based patch bay. I've used the PB-40 on its own in a smaller home studio, but you can definitely get a few of these and use them as a full on patch bay in...
I've had 2 of these patch bays for a few years now, and at this point I have mixed feelings about them. First of all, they are pretty much the cheapest you are going to find for patch bays. They are selling new for $50 - you definitely can't beat that for a patch bay of this size. They are by Behringer, which unfortunately has a reputation fo...
I've had my Tascam PB32-P for about a year now and it works great as a patch bay. Its as simple as they come in terms of a patch bay, 32 inputs and 32 outputs. For me, it is more than enough points for my small home setup. I love having it because I can simply patch my outboard gear rather than rewiring my whole set up. I didn't try any other mo...
