This product doesn't make a lot of claims, and it certainly gets the job done. I have noticed no introduction of noise, no loss of signal, and it works just as I imagined.
Sound
The product does nothing to the sound. This is good for a patchbay, as you don't want any noise or interference. I gave it a five because it doesn't create any sound.
Features
It runs in four modes. It will tell you it runs in five, but two of those modes are the same mode, and depend on wether you have patched anything in or not. It meets my needs, which are meager, very well.
Quality
The only gripe I have about the quality is that when you are rotating modules, you have to take the whole unit apart, and this can cause modules to fall out or make it difficult to put back together if they don't all fall into their own little hole. Other than that, it's solid.
Value
Super cheap, and gets the job done. A slight learning curve aside, this will meet a project studio's needs for basic patching. I patch a few synths and effects here and there, but only deal with about 10 sources, so this is perfect for me, and it is balanced!
Manufacturer Support
I haven't dealt with Behringer customer support.
The Wow Factor
Patchbays are arguably the most boring thing to buy, next to cabling, which was incidentally more expensive in this case.
