Review: Nervous as I have never used a patchbay before and the wide cost differences between units I was not sure exactly what to expect. Got the unit, well built, and clearly labeled, even included instructions that clearly (and in plain english) detailed the use - both common examples and use of special situations. Got all the necessary cables connected, options selected, and in the rack. Works exactly as I expect and honestly did not add, nor take away, any quality of the signal! Would absolutely buy again and recommend to anyone looking to add patchbay functionality to their projects.
Review: Great unit. Good to be able to overpatch. Bought these to replace some aging other manufacturers units that had gone intermittent contact…..
