Long term investment

Very good quality. I use it in a studio-environment but I am sure it will hold up in live situations as well. For this price you get a lot of quality and it feels like it will last for a long time.

Works as it should and built like a tank

The patchbay works as it should and is built very well. Whether only XLR connections work for you is a matter of preferrence.

Good all round

Very pleasant to use, with a good build and elegant design. I use it as an interface to my rack making the inputs of my rack-mounted mixer and effects units more easily accessible. I highly recommend this product.

Super useful, great price!

Not many XLR patchbays to be found around... and this one is really well made, with the added bonus of allowing it to be flipped over, front/backwards, as to cater for M or F front panel connections.

Only minuses are that the latching of the XLR connectors themselves could be a bit better, and that when flipped, the "Designed in USA / Made in China" decal becomes your front panel, while the company logo & model name become hidden in the back of your rack - they should have put them on both front & back, and moved that "Designed/Made" thing somewhere on the sides, or on the bottom of the unit.

Anyway, using a couple of these it in the studio and in several outboard racks, does the job perfectly, and for a friendly price!

Havent really tried it, other than fixing it in my rack, seems sturdy and well made.

Perfect for my needs

Using this between my drum mics and Claret 8Prex 8 input interface. No more fiddling around at the back of the Claret to plug in mics! Great!

Solid build quality. Can be mounted with either male or female XLR sockets at the front of your rack. Really, not much more to say other than it does exactly what you would expect.

Overall - good quality and excellent price point.
