Black Lion Audio PBR XLR 32 DSub - 32-Point XLR/DB25 Patchbay

Full Description

Reliable, high-quality audio connections

The PBR XLR 32 DSub features gold-plated XLR connectors designed to deliver clean, noise-free signal transmission. These high-quality connections help maintain clarity by minimising signal degradation and interference. Gold plating prevents oxidation, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding studio environments. The 16 input and 16 output XLR ports on the front panel provide an accessible connection point for microphones, preamps, and other outboard gear. Each XLR output also includes a locking connector, keeping cables securely in place. On the rear panel, four DB25 connectors offer a space-saving alternative for integrating mixers, interfaces, or patch panels. This combination of XLR and DB25 connectivity gives studios the flexibility to optimise routing while preserving sound quality.

Built for durability and longevity

Constructed with a reinforced steel chassis, the PBR XLR 32 DSub is built to withstand the rigours of professional studio use. Frequent patching and cable changes can put a strain on connections, but this unit’s internal steel mounting plate ensures DB25 connectors remain secure over time. The front panel is made from black-anodised aluminium, providing additional protection while giving the patchbay a sleek, professional look. High-quality materials and solid construction make this unit a reliable investment for any studio looking to improve its routing options without compromising on durability.

Streamlined studio organisation

Managing complex studio setups can become overwhelming, especially as more gear is added. The PBR XLR 32 DSub helps simplify cable management by centralising connections in one easy-to-access location. With clearly labelled front panel connectors and included patch labels, signal flow remains organised and efficient. Quick changes can be made without sorting through tangled cables, making adjustments faster and more precise. A tidy setup not only improves workflow but also reduces the risk of connection errors, helping engineers focus on the creative process rather than troubleshooting signal paths.

Seamless integration with your setup

The PBR XLR 32 DSub is designed for studios requiring both flexibility and reliability in their routing systems. Its combination of XLR and DB25 connectivity allows for easy integration with existing setups, supporting a wide range of gear configurations. Preamp connections, effects processing chains, and mixer integration all become more manageable, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient workflow. By offering multiple connection options in a single unit, this patchbay helps studios stay adaptable, ensuring compatibility with various equipment and future expansion. Signal routing remains clear and consistent, making studio sessions smoother and more productive.
