"Simplified my setup and expanded my capabilities"

Feature:
Dip switches on top of the unit allow you to select Normalled, 1/2-normalled, Open or Parallel for each A/B duo of ports. If you think you won't use that feature, you're wrong, it's very, very handy.

Quality:
Solid, sturdy, with tight jacks. I think you could run over it with a car and not hurt it.

Value:
Worth every penny and probably more.

Desirability:
It's just a patch bay, not very sexy, but it is now my favorite, most useful piece of gear because of how it "enabled" the rest of my gear.

Sound:
Adds no apparent noise to my signal path and has even solved a ground loop problem I was having with an old Korg M1.

Support:
Behringer is slow as death to answer emails, but the one time I've ever had to return a new "B-stock" Behringer item, they replaced it with a brand new "A-stock" one for no additional charge.

Overall:
If you have a multitrack and a few DSPs, or even an amp and a few different pieces of rack gear, a patch bay may be for you. This one is a godsend for me, and as patch bays go, there's not a thing wrong with this inexpensive unit.

"Don't think you need one? Think again."

I wasn't 100% convinced I needed a patch-bay until I got this thing installed in my studio rack. Now I route practically everything through it. It's hard to imagine how I ever lived without a patchbay, and more specifically THIS patchbay. What makes the Ultrapatch so special is its flexibility. Every pair of patches features a switch on the top of the rack which determines how the signal will be routed.

For example, say you have a synthesizer that is usually connected to two channels of your mixing board, but occassionaly want to patch it to a different board for auditioning. Connected through the patchbay, you can choose how the signal will (or will not be) routed when you patch the cables in. It can interrupt the synth from going to the main mixer entirely, or bridge the signal to both the main and sub-mixers. That's just a small example...there are many more ways of routing signals, and it's about as easy as it gets with this patchbay.

I mounted my Ultrapatch under a drawer in my rack, so if I ever need to change the switches or cabling in the back of the unit I can just remove the drawer to get to them. If you're better at cabling than I am and know exactly what you're doing, you probably won't have to worry about it at all once you've got everything set-up.

I have a home studio, and usually only run one or two tracks at a time (but I'm able to handle up to six when need be). I never knew how much I needed a patchbay until I actually got one, and I'm glad I chose the Ultrapatch. Granted, I haven't tried any others...but that's the beauty. I haven't NEEDED any others.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
In order to wire the many and various components of a studio, you need a multitude of different connections. Often, fixed links between single devices are impossible, because specific recording or mix-down situations require special-purpose connections. For this reason, professional studios use so-called patchbays carrying connectors for the various studio components. For example, you can route audio signals from one central point to all devices connected to the patchbay.

Behringer's Ultrapatch Pro PX2000 enables audio engineers and musicians to organize numerous connections more efficiently. Robust workmanship and sophisticated design give the Ultrapatch Pro long-term reliability and allow for its use in a variety of applications. Equipped with 48 phone jacks on the front and rear panels, occupying only 1U rack space, the Ultrapatch Pro also has a switch for each channel (24 in all) on the top panel which can be used to adjust one of the four operating modes ("parallel," "half-normalized," "normalized," and "open"), which give you utmost flexibility when configuring a well-structured wiring scheme in the studio. Other Behringer rack products such as compressors, equalizers, psycho-acoustic processors, and many more are described in Behringer's new Standard Audio catalog.
