## Description

3-Mode Multi-Functional 48-Point Balanced Patchbay

Review: Behringer Patch bay rocks - Like many others I dismissed the Behringer patchbay because it was tooooo cheap, how could it possibly be anygood? A BIT OF HISTORY: Back in the 90's I bought some of the Neutrik TRS patchbays, back then they worked pretty well but over the years the newer versions of the Neutriks have different jacks in them that are difficult to plug in and the normal connections have gotten flakey. Besides the jacks getting cheaper and cheaper in the Neutrik units the metal work has changed from year to year, now the face plate is held on with two little screws that barely engage the metal and if you lose one the whole thing becomes a flimsy mess. So I looked for a replacement and almost passed on the Behringer units again because of the low low price. I'm an electrical design engineer by trade and build a lot of my own gadgets. There are 96 1/4" TRS jacks on one of these patchbays, $50/96= just $.52-cents per jack (not including metal work, packaging or labor), how could they possibly be any good? Then I found a review online from someone who had been using the Behringer units for years without problems. He stated that the key to using them was to support the cables so they don't put a strain on the jacks. Recently we were putting a broadcast studio together and needed some patch capability so we decided to try one of the Behringer units. It was sort of a joke at first, everyone expected these units to be crap. Instead, we found a product that works fantastic, is super easy to configure (due to the 3-pos switches) and the jacks are like buttered toast, no more fighting to get the cable in or out. TRS plugs glide in and out smoothly, easily and most important of all, reliably! I measured the impedance from input to output of one channel (passing thru the normal connection path) using a Fluke DVM and found less than one-ohm of series resistance, this speaks pretty well for the normalled connection not degrading your audio sonically. On some old "mil spec" patchbays I've measured as much as 10 ohms thru the normal path, that's what happens when the contacts get dirty. On one of our Neutirks that was going flakey I measured 39 ohms in series, that's enough to seriously upset the CMRR of a balanced line which can be a big source of noise. We now have four of the PX3000 installed and no issues with a single connection. I've used them in all three modes (normalled, unnormalled and half normalled) and they are in use every day. We don't do a ton of patching on them (the normal connections run our studio) but when we need to insert something or do a quick reroute these tools get the job done reliably. Each channel of the PX3000 is built on its own little circuit board (I had to look inside) which slides into the metal frame. You never have to access these little boards to configure the patchbay (like on Neutrik, DBX, and others) but the little boards do have a very tiny amount of give in the chassis, this is what makes it feel a bit "unsolid" to some folks. It's not a flaw, it's just the way they are built and so far it has not affected my installation one bit. Several of my Neutrik patchbays act the same way (channel boards moving slightly when you insert or remove a cable). I'm very happy with these and ordering a few more before they raise the price. REVIEW UPDATE: MARCH 2013 We're up to eight of these in our broadcast rig with zero problems, just ordered our 9th one. I make most of my cables myself using Canare and Mogami wire with Switchcraft plugs and have zero noise problems. I always clean my plugs with Deoxit prior to plugging them in for long use. I've know many people who just assume their connectors are clean, most have oil on them from manufacturing that can cause interference and distortion. Good music to everyone!
Review: I love this Behringer patch Bay system in my custom sound surround sound Tower - Yes this patch Bay system by Behringer Ultrapatch Pro 48 channels 28 lines in or out if you can figure it for right and left channels and you can change the direction of the channels if you wanted four pass through you have switches on the top of it to make it half in half but I prefer straight through I got this for my custom surround sound Tower for my surround sound system and now I can connect anything up to it without going into the cabinet I have my preamp connected up to the patch Bay and also the EQ out connected up to the patch Bay so we can go to the surround sound and I have all the other effects machines connected up to the EQ along with the preamp so I can get all the effects to go with the surround sound to make the sound customized now I can connect my CD decks up to the tower to the patch Bay that goes to the preamp connected up to and the cool thing about this setup I have a patch Bay in my CD decks with the mixer and everything and the CD decks and mixer patch Bay can be connected to this patch Bay so it's a win-win no matter what simple and easy take the quarter inch jack wires and plug them into the patch bay pass away the patch bay and both of them are barangers the same unit the ultrapatch Pro I definitely recommend this patch bay not too expensive very affordable and very durable for whatever you use it for for Studio customizing a DJ setup or even customizing a surround sound custom sound Tower setup like what I'm doing this past day is unique and I bought another one because I like it so much so yeah this would do the job for you go order one yourself I'm out of here later

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does this do?**
A: It allows you to have all of your signal processors'  ins and outs in one place instead of having to dig around behind the rack when you want to connect something or change their order.

**Q: How many spaces will this take up?**
A: It takes one space on the rack.

**Q: Does this work as a splitter, like can i send a signal to the foh and monitor system?**
A: Yes if you set the patchbay to keep the original signal path uninterrupted as in half normal. So the back jacks and the front jacks will have a signal present.  You could split them that way.  If you are sending amplifier output, doing so would probably cause impedance issues and damage your amp or speaker.  If it is only line level signals that would work.

**Q: can this be used to route amplified speaker singals?**
A: Not a good idea at all.  Speaker voltages are quite high and pulling cables in and out of this device will create transient voltages, sparks perhaps ,quickly ruining the TRS jack contacts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lifesaver!
*by L***L on April 3, 2024*

In my studio, I have mic/instrument inputs in my walls that run behind my desk. My interface inputs are on the back of the interface so this device, in normal mode, connects my lines on the back without me doing anything on the front. It seems to be solid and looks great in the rack. I will be buying more of these.
