Behringer PX3000 Ultrapatch Pro Reviews

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.

I have three of these - very useful

Not much to say about these. They do what they are supposed to do. They are good value and easy to use. I have all mine half-normalled so I don't worry about being able to access the top mounted switched when in the rack.

They will require you spend quite a lot of money on cables but as they won't constantly need rearranging, they should last a long time.

So far I've no complaints about quality and I haven't experienced any crackle or cross-talk.

Great flexibility at this price point and works as it should!

Same here, I hear noises coming out of the unit and even if i gently touch the plugged jack, it would screech even more. It can take some time before adjusting the cable the right angle to seize the artifact noise. I don't know honestly, whether any unit for this price could bring any good of a sustainable quality. Have been having mine for a year now.

does the job

actually pretty decent for the price, no bad surprises so far...

Not the best but very handy and seems quite solid

Using it from some time, it's a nice featured Patch Bay, very handy with the 3 ''mods''. It changed the way i use all the outboard in the studio with synths and a mixer, would recommend you if you're on a low budget

Does what it advertises

Installed in my studio, works as i should with no noise. Limited space for labels.

Top value for project studio.

Purchased to route my 18i20 to outboard gear.

Pros:

- It's a patch bay, 24 channels of routing

- Configuration choice selection per channel. No need to take it apart like other patch bays in this price range.

- Sounds pristine, not had any issues to date.

- Built well, clean design

- The price.

Cons:

- Configuration switches are on top panel, but that is a big ask for a patch bay in this price range.

Summary:

If you need a patch bay, on a budget, you can't go wrong with the PX3000. Excellent offering.

A excellent patch bay that doesn’t need opening to use and adjust settings.

Will be buying another one.

As expected

I bought two of those and I use them in the studio. They are great. The quality overall is good and sturdy. I noticed a tiny tiny bit of wobbling in all the sockets when forced, but then again, why force it?

Really good product

It's sturdy, gives the option to tweak each pair between normal/half-normal/through, comes with a reasonable price tag.
