Sound: The DBX patchbay is the best patchbay I've purchased. It's been said by Pro Audio proffessionals that you can take a hammer to this thing and it will still work (after the abuse);However I'm not crazy so I haven't taken time to test this urban legend, abuse isn't good on ANY gear... also I spent money on some other patchbays that weren't DBX (or) TASCAM, and they were peaces of junk. When purchasing a patchbay just make sure all your channels work, and it's not staticy. In my practic DBX has become one of the best low-end Hardware brand names in the business. Feature: If you need a patchbaY...DBX Quality: Top quality patchbay. It should work through almost any enviroment. And If you get static in a channel(it's probaly dust) use compressed air, Don't be an idiot & just throw it away Value: DBX PATCHBAYS would have to be in the top ten list of patchbays. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed cutomer service The Wow Factor: I can't live without my patchbays, Then again patchbays are for proffessionals not chumps. Overall: I hope all that's ever needed is compressed air to clean the channels. This is One excellent piece of hardware

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "A Solid Connection With This Patchbay"

Sound: If it works correctly, a patchbay should not create any audible difference in the sound. The dbx PB48 does this well. Feature: While a patchbay may seem a mundane piece of equipment, it is essential. The dbx PB48 allows for easy access to your equipment I/O with added flexibility via half-normalled and de-normalled configurations. Quality: The patchbay came in perfect shape. However, upon flipping a few circuit boards - in order to change the normalling - I realized that the "bolts" were made of plastic. While there seemed to be no problem with this, there is probably a slight risk of stripping them. Additionaly, some of the boards proved more difficult to remove than expected. Value: For the price, the dbx PB48 is a very good piece of equipment. Especially when compared to some of the cheaper patchbays available, this one shines. Manufacturer Support: I have had no need to request any support from dbx. The Wow Factor: The patchbay is very clean and solid in appearance. Much of the desire of this product stems from necessity. Overall: This product is a solid purchase. While there may be a couple small drawbacks - at least in my mind - they are nothing to worry about. I am definately happy I spent a little more for the dbx PB48, as it was worth it.
