Behringer PX3000 Ultrapatch Pro

Works good

For the price this is a no brainer. Does exactly what is required. I have two.

Just what I needed

The Ultrapatch Pro does what is says - simple and solid patchbay.

Great product , performs as expected!

this patchbay is a great affordable option for any studio rack.

having the normalisation switches on top doesn't bother me too much as I don't need to switch them from their first set state.

I have noticed that some of the sockets are little loose and need a slight wobble every couple weeks...

Nothing too much to worry about.

Great patchbay, versatile

I already own a PX3000 for many years. And it's still working perfectly, I bought another one as the studio is expanding and I don't fancy all the cables on my desk. I haven't had issues with lover levels or spilling as some users are reporting. Mine is working fine. I like the versatility of having a switch for normal, half normal, and thru. It would be perfect to have this switch on the front panel but really doesn't bother me much as I plan the wiring setup beforehand. I like also like that the PX3000 offers enough space on the front panel so I can stick my personalized labels. Great patchbay for my home studio.

Great for the €€€

I have this one and the Rean/Neutrik ones. Ok, once you set the normal/semi-normal, you probably won't ever change it. But Once installed, and you've made a mistake, it's much easier to make the switch. Anyway, does the job just fine for the money. Not much available between this price point at €900.

Basic, functional patch bay with some signal loss

I bought this as a replacement for a previous unit Given away over ten years ago... mostly because of the cost and the lack of options in the 1/4in jack category. Its continued existence in the Behringer line shows it’s a workhorse.

The switching options for normalled, half normalled etc are convenient if you put the unit at the top of an open rack.

So it’s functional and practical - lots of switching and routing options and lots of channels. HOWEVER: I did a null test to see what kind of signal degradation is happening through this unit and, of course, there’s a lot. So you get what you’re paying for - a convenient patching system which (for me anyway) opens up the options with analog gear, but you’re compromising the signal path when you use it. Efficiency vs quality, your choice....

This is the fourth I bought

I am very happy with this patch bay. I currently own 4, and they hold every I/O in my studio without any problem at all. You should handle with care though because they wobble a bit.

Unreliable

While I own some great behringer synths, this product is a disappointment. The connections are not reliable at all.

best at the cheap end

not noisy, good features. the inclusion of a switchable modes is very attractive, it woud have been even better if the switch was on the front panel instead of on top, as when you rack mount it the switch gets hidden.

But at the price, who can complain.. You do have the option to switch modes per connector pair, even if you have to fiddle just a bit.

It's Behringer...

It looks sturdy enough and seems well built on the face of it. Out the box it works well and the switches are handy. However, like a lot of Behringer gear, I have yet to find out how long it'll last. For the money, it seems as good or bad as other patch bays in this price range with added functionality of the switches.
