Feature:
Well, you can connect two sets of active monitors to the M Patch, switch between these and also use both sets simultaneously. There also is a pair of stereo line-in´s to connect a seperate audio source, for example a CD or cassette player. There is a stereo/mono swith and also a mute button. There also is a headphone output with a seperate volume control.

Quality:
Good quality, yes there is a sturdy quality feel to this unit

Value:
Good value, you can´t get anything better for that price

Desirability:
I got it already, zZounds asks about Sex Appeal here, what a studid qusetion, we are talking about a piece of gear, not about Marylin Monroe

Sound:
The sound of this unit is crystal clear. The M Patch 2 is a passive monitor controller, so the sound going through the M Patch is not influenced by any electrics. This unit is for professional use. I can not say anything about the quality of the headphone output because I have never used the headphone out, for headphones I use a seperate headphone amp

Ease of Use:
How easy can it be. Read the owners manual

Support:
I do not know, did not need their support, and hope that I never will need it. So I give this a 5

Overall:
Overall ist a 10 - The Best

Feature:
will allow me to run a CD or LP player into my fancy monitors! and even run a second set of monitors if I feel like it. their Nano Patch will be a good monitor controller if you don't need these features but still want the sound quality

Quality:
seems great, knobs have a nice smooth feel

Sound:
crystal clear... way better than the presonus HP4 for not that much more money

Ease of Use:
eezy peezy

Feature:
It has everything i could ask for at the price.

Quality:
It feels well built, the volume controls are nice to use with just the right amount of resistance and the buttons have a nice feel when being used. The only reason for the 8 is becasue the blue light on the front was dead on arrival (which isnt a problem which is why i didnt return it) so far it seems really good, it remains to be seen how long it will last

Value:
Well i paid $150 Australian (RPP $200) and for that amount it is great value, more than i expected.

Desirability:
I didnt want it, I needed it, using a PC sound card to control monitors is a bad idea and i needed two sets connected to one source simple as that. I do admit i think it looks good on my dest though.

Sound:
Seems good to me, using it from the sound card of my PC to drive two set of monitors and i cant hear any difference between it being and not being in the signal chain. Mind you the headphone amplifier is bad in my opinion however its a monitor volume control not a headphone amplifier (Just dont buy it for this feature)

Ease of Use:
Very easy and the manual is also really easy to read and understand.

Support:
Havent used it but i have friends who have used SM Audio's support and have mentioned how good it has been.

Overall:
Im very happy with this, it looks good and does everything i have asked it too. I think SM Audio have done a really good job providing this at such a good price.

Feature:
Some useful stuff - stereo/mono switch, 2 playback sources, 3 input sources, separate vol control for aux and main outputs. Also cool - you can use it as a 'desktop' unit or mount it in a rack.

Quality:
Absolutely horrendous. After 10 minutes of use the power cord fell out of the back - it doesn't stay in very well at all. Had to duct tape it to make sure it didn't fall out again. Then, about a half hour later, the entire unit stopped working altogether. What a lousy piece of junk.

Value:
Like I said before, a pile of junk.

Desirability:
It's just a brown and black box, nothing fancy. The knobs are very cheap-looking.

Sound:
First off, I just got this today and it had been a nightmare. In terms of sound, for the first few minutes or so it was alright. Then I did a stretch of non-sound related activities and noticed that my monitors were "sputtering." It was weird. When I turned off the M-Patch they were fine. Also, the headphone amp is TERRIBLE. I cranked it and barely got a whisper out of my headphones.

Ease of Use:
Super easy - don't even need the manual - just plug everything in and you're set.

Support:
I called SM "Pro" Audio and they have evidently changed their number. How convenient.

Overall:
What a worthless piece of junk. First - distorts my monitors (yes, I made sure everything was grounded properly - and I have fairly new KRK RP-8s so they aren't the problem). Second - power cable can't even stay in properly. 3rd - it flat-out died within maybe 4 hours after I set it up.
