Rean NYS SPP-L1 Reviews

Really good options for grounding and normals

This products design was really well thought out. It gives you all the usual normal configurations that you would expect, what makes it different from other similar products is the ground isolation options. You might never need it ... but if you do, you?ll appreciate it. As for the quality of the connectors, I've been using it for a few months now with no problems. Time will tell.

I don;t consider needing anything else.

This product is rock solid.

Because of it's build style it's difficult to switch patch routes. But this also means that you can actually change only the broken modules on it without changing the whole unit.

The connections are really good and they feel sturdy. The movement of the modules make it seem cheap but it's not.

Great patchbay!

Simple patchbay solution, with good quality jack sockets and easy options for normaling/ semi-normaling/isolating each channel simply by opening the unit and turning the channel card around. Neutrik also do a special card for this unit if you need to patch TRS send/return inserts.

Light, well built, quickly and easily reconfigurable as all conections are on TRS jacks.

Does the intended job

A budget TRS patchbay for home or project studios. Connections all solid so far and no earth issues. Fits in a typical 19" rack and is 1U tall. Worth the money if you are branching out into a hybrid set up with a DAW and some outboard gear.

I like it

Nice patchbay for the price

mmkay-ish

can t complain about anything at this price

It does its job well

I use a few pieces of this unit in the studio. It's a simple yet powerful solution to quickly re-route outboards and everything else. Highly recommended.

good to use

If you need find the basic patchbay to use in home studio

this choise is good

One of the best to get.

I have three of them. At first, some jacks get used to getting harder. No noise, no lost One of the best to get

Neutrik Rean NYS SPP-L1

Can be a bit of a pain changing the jack orientation, I found it easier to do with some cables connected.

Save a lot of hassle once set up.

Lot of work

If you want to save money and have a lot of free time on your hands, this is the patch bay for you.

Each port needs to be set manually - and this will take soem time. They warned me, but I disregarded the advice.

I should have listened. I am sure the quality is good, but I sold it to someone with more time and patience :-)

Works well but lacks instructions

The way you select the working method for each channel is by changing the way the PCBs are placed, that is very easy to do and the graphics on top are easy to understand AFTER you search online for a proper manual, the "quick guide" that comes with it does not help much.

Comes with glue on strips to write what you have on each in/out and with rack screws although the screws are not diameter compatible with my rack.

Quality Patch Bay hiding under a bargain price

Out of the box this patch bay has transformed the productivity and flexibility of my studio.

Using this with Cordial CFM 3,0 VV High Quality Audio Cable and two of the sssnake SPP8030 8-Way Multicore Jacks patching in an analogue Soundtracs Megas mixer to my UA Apollo system. Further to this I have routed monitor outs from the Apollo to provide for more monitor options. I can still select two monitors from the Apollo without re-patching as the patch bay is semi normalised from the start. Just patch for more alternative monitors.

This patch bay introduces no noise and is of a solid construction that can be re-configured with ease.

Can you tell I am pleased!

I use two of these at my studio to link rack units

Been using two of these units at my studio for 3 years now.

I actually gave it a 5-star review some time ago, but I recently found it adds noticeable distortion to the signal being patched through.

I did a pretty simple measurement always using the same patch cable, a sine wave generator in my DAW, and listening and checking the input signal with an FFT frequency analyzer.

My results:

1-When measuring directly from AD to DA I got a pristine clean signal.

2-When patching the signal through the NYS I got a lot of added harmonics.

3-This happened independently of sine wave frequency (tested from 20 to 20kHz)

4-Distortion only happened when the signal output was above -19dBfs

5-As the output volume increases the distortion changes, as in the harmonics are not the same as the signal get's stronger.

6-This is happening on all channels.

I don't know if it always distorted the signal or if it just didn't age well, but my studio is a dry smokeless place so either way if after 3 years it's malfunctioning it means low quality.

In conclusion, don't waste you money on this unit!

a cost-effective choice for patchbay

Patchbay is useful when you plug in or out cable frequently.I have Pro tools HD IO and different type of hardware effect,so I need a patchbay to route the signal easily.

Neutrik stands for its connector and socket,which is well-know in professional.Neutrik Rean NYS SPP-L1 offer a cost-effective price offering the same Neutrik's quality.The sound is nothing complaint about.Very clear and nice.No additional issue are added into the routed source.Long-time durable design makes you one investment, lifetime benefit.

Affordable and effective patching!

If you want to take control of the cable spaghetti invading your studio, a patchbay is the answer; and with bantam units costing too much for the casual muso, these quarter-inch jack units come into their own. I have four now, arranged as one big bay three deep and a subsidiary bay on the other side of the room to handle effects sends and returns.

The units come "semi-normalised", which means that a connection made at the top of the rear panel automatically feeds down to the connection made at the bottom of the rear panel even if no patch cord is inserted in the front to link them. This is handy if you have a bunch of connections that, typically, stay the same: you can link the stereo outputs of your main keyboard, say, to inputs 1 and 2 on your audio interface in a semi-permanent fashion. Sticking a patch cord into the front sockets on a semi-normalled connection breaks the link, though, allowing you to overrride your usual setup whenever you like: and this is how I've got most of my studio arranged.

There are some connections, though, where it's better to have things totally variable, without any normalisation; and the bay allows you to set this up by unscrewing its front panel and reversing some or all of the little individual socket cards. By reinstalling them in various different configurations you can have normalled or semi-normalled functionality, or even use them as Y-splitters (what you'd call Mults in modular-synth-speak), and this can be decided on a card-by-card basis across the whole 24 pairs of sockets. Once you've got your head around the possibilities it's very flexible indeed, though a bit of a faff to replace the front panel when you're done because the little cards end up reluctant to align with the punched holes in the panel strip. But you'll get there in the end. There's a handy guide to the various configuration options silkscreened onto the top of the unit, too, which is a bit of a lifesaver if all this normalled / semi-normalled stuff is unfamiliar territory (as it was to me...)

In all ? hugely useful in taming my studio cabling, and versatile enough to accommodate lots of routing options.

Great Value For Money! Cheap and with quality enough to give good results in terms of audio connections in the studio. No noises and hums! Just not so soft on patching cables! I would say that is very suitable for the home studio! I'm satisfied and recommend if you are on a tight budget!!!

Top quality Patchbay

TRS balanced Rean connections. never had a problem

Great addition

The flexibility this piece of kit gives to the studio is really great. This unit allows to change connections very quickly. Time saver unit and avoids me to go around the table to reach to the rear of the rack equipment. I can simply plug a wire in this patch bay and avoid all toe work.

Very nice option when cost is a consideration

This is a very nice patchbay for the cost.

Once you get your head around the normalisation, you can easily manage a large setup if you set it up right.

Its very nice for setting up for example inputs to analog mixing desks, where you can use the normalisation to get microphones, instruments or outputs from your audio interface routed to where they have to go, without using cables at all. It is however not an option to break the normalisation without using plugs, which is my only complaint about this patchbay. I own 3 of these and i only have 1 input that sometimes has a little bit of trouble with its connection, but i suspect it to be normal wear and tear, from taking cables in and out often. :-)
