Performs flawlessly with no noise and no signal degradation. Built like a tank and feels solid and weighty. Great price for what you get (check out other patch bays and you'll see). I added another rack to my project studio and needed another bay (this is my second px3000) to handle the new routings. The switches beat the heck out of having to take apart and change card positions to do straight thru or half and full normalling, and they too (the switches) feel solid and dependable. Don't waste your money on patch bays by higher profile "name" brands; get one or two of these instead.

I have five of these in studio rack and they make life so much more simple with the ability to push a slider to select Normalled, Half-Normalled, or Through. They are not expensive but they do exactly what they are supposed to do, look good doing it, and you don't have to bother with flipping circuit boards and plgugs around to change it's function. The only thing I can think of that would improve them is a more detailed and easily understood set of instructions on what the purpose of Normal, Half-Normal, and Through are for and how better plan setting up a patch system that will work first time.

"Great Patchbay, Great Price."

I would replace this with the same if it were to wear out. I would also buy another if I needed to expand.
Sound
Well a good patchbay should not introduce any sound. This one does not as far as I can tell and I use excellent headphones for reference.
Features
The 3-Mode Multifunctional design is great although having the switches on the front instead of the top you think would be an obvious improvement. But having them on top does help protect your settings once mounted on your rack. I design my rack setup with an open space above and a cover for that slot - if I need to get to the switches it is pretty easy.
Ease of Use
If you understand what the switches are for, it is very simple to use.
Quality
This piece of equipment seems to be built like a tank; heavy and the switches and jacks seem to be of high quality. The jacks work the way they should and are very smooth. Although I am using this in a studio, I would not hesitate to take it on the road.
Value
Great piece of gear for the money; I will add another when the time comes to upgrade my studio.
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed any
The Wow Factor
It looks great and well built the design aesthetics go great in the studio and looks very professional.

All the money you don't pay upfront (for a dbx, neutrik, hosa, tascam,...) you'll spend in hours crawling behind your desk/flight case stacks to check the connections, removing the unit from teh rack to check the switches (which are a good idea, but stupidly located and inaccessible as soon as the unit is racked)
Value
Just avarage. Cheap price, cheap product
Manufacturer Support
Behringer support is legendary to take forever and cost more than the product. For a price tag below $50, I'd consider it's a consummable.
